I don't know what happens to all the photos I uploaded just a few moments ago. I swear they all were on the blog.....and now, they are gone. I really have problems the last few weeks with blogger.
But you have the link , click on it so you can see the little purse and all the pics on this  site.
Sorry for that......

Cute little coin purse

In an quilter's internet group I got this link to http://www.sewlover.com/bags/tutorial/spiral_pouch_tutorial.html They have very good photos for this tutorial and you can find under the first pic a clickable pdf file with the pattern. I will show you the pics I made during the construction of this little purse. It is really easy and fast to sew....so give it a try! On the same site you can find tutorials for other purses....very well explaned with the pics, the site is in japanese, I think.

you can cut the 3 pieces (outside, lining and batting) together...

I have endless zipper (the best for this project), you only need one side of the zipper.....

begin pinning and sewing the zipper on your mark....

pin the zipper RIGHT side down to the fabric like this...

with a zipper foot on your machine stitch the zipper to the fabric and batting...

join the two ends of the zipper together...

pin the lining in place...

stitch all around, don't forget to let an opening 2-3" to turn it inside out

turn the purse inside out...

close the turning opening by hand with invisible stitches...

the little coin purse is finished + - 20-30 minutes!
