A Handmade Purse

Well, sort of. I'm taking baby steps to making more items for the girls. Here is one of my first projects - a felt coin purse for Emma. OK, I seriously cheated on this one. I bought the coin purse and the felt flower. I sewed the flower onto the coin purse. Yes, I know, that's totally cheating. But as I said, I'm taking baby steps. I'm trying.

Here is the purse.

Here is the flower.

Here are the purse and the flower.

And here is the final product - purse with the flower.

My next baby step will be to actually sew the flower and possibly the purse. Remember...baby steps. I think sewing the flower will be easier than sewing the purse. The purse isn't the difficult part. It's sewing the zipper that scares me.

Anyway, it's a perfect place for a six year old to keep her money and lip gloss, and I'm thinking it would make a perfect gift for a little girl...filled, of course!
