Free pattern: Milk Carton Coin Purse

November 27, 2016 by Anne Weaver

This itty coin purse is the cutest! I want to sew one – or maybe a bunch – up this afternoon! How about you? Caroline from Sew Can She shares a free pattern and tutorial so you can do that. Plastic from a recycled milk carton gives the small coin purse the shaping. The loop at the side lets you attach it to a lanyard or wrist strap.

Easy Cosmetics Bag Sewing Pattern

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!

It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.

Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
