Sewing Of Coin Purse With Velcro Closure, Half Moon Shape

Sider Fusion

Sewing a coin purse with a Velcro closure in a half-moon shape is a fun and manageable project! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you make one.

Materials Needed:

• Fabric: Choose your outer fabric and lining (cotton, canvas, or felt work well).
• Velcro strips: One piece for closure.
• Sewing machine (or hand sewing supplies): Needles, thread matching the fabric, pins/clips.
• Scissors or rotary cutter
• Fabric marking tool or chalk
• Optional: Interfacing for extra sturdiness.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Cut Your Fabric:

   • Cut two half-moon shapes from the outer fabric and two from the lining. The size can be around 6 inches wide and 3 inches high, but you can adjust dimensions as desired.
   • If using interfacing, cut it the same size as the outer fabric pieces.

2. Prepare the Velcro:

   • Cut a strip of Velcro about 2-3 inches long. You’ll attach one part to the lining and one part to the outer fabric.

3. Interface (if using):

   • Iron the interfacing onto the wrong side of the outer fabric pieces to give them added structure.

4. Sew the Velcro:

   • Attach one side of the Velcro to the center of one of the outer fabric pieces and the other side to the center of one of the lining pieces. You can sew straight lines or a box pattern for added security.

5. Sew the Purse:

   • Place the two outer fabric pieces right sides together and sew around the curved edge, leaving the straight edge open. Use a 1/4-inch seam allowance.
   • Repeat with the lining pieces, but leave a 2-3 inch gap on the straight edge of the lining for turning the purse later.

6. Trim the Edges:

   • Carefully trim the seam allowance around the curve to reduce bulk, without cutting into the stitches.

7. Turn the Purse:

   • Turn the outer fabric right side out, and push out the seams for a nice shape.
   • Then, turn the lining piece right side out as well.

8. Insert the Outer Fabric:

   • Place the outer fabric inside the lining (right sides together) so that the edges align.

9. Sew the Top Edge:

   • Sew around the top edge (the open edges of the lining and outer fabric).

10. Turn the Purse Right Side Out:

    • Pull the outer fabric through the gap in the lining and align the edges.

11. Finish the Lining:

    • Tuck the lining inside the purse, and sew the gap closed (you can do this by hand for a neat finish).

12. Final Touches:

    • Press your purse and ensure the Velcro aligns properly when closed.

Tips:

• Customize your coin purse with embellishments like embroidery or fabric paint.
• Use contrasting thread for a decorative touch along the seams.

ZIGZAG STITCH

Sider Fusion

A zigzag stitch is a type of sewing stitch that creates a zigzag pattern rather than a straight line. It is commonly used for various purposes in sewing and quilting, including:

Uses of Zigzag Stitch

1. Finishing Edges: Prevents fraying on the edges of fabric by encasing them.
2. Stretching Fabric: Works well on knit fabrics, allowing seams to stretch without breaking.
3. Decorative Purposes: Can be used creatively to add texture or design to a project.
4. Attaching Appliques: Useful for stitching down embellishments, trims, or patches.

How to Sew a Zigzag Stitch

1. Set Your Machine: Adjust your sewing machine to the zigzag stitch setting (usually indicated by a zigzag icon).
2. Choose Width and Length: Adjust the width and length of the stitch according to your project requirements.
3. Sewing Technique: Position your fabric under the presser foot and sew while guiding the fabric as needed.

Here’s a quick and easy project idea where you can utilize zigzag stitches: Fabric Coasters!

Fabric Coasters

Materials Needed:

• Scrap fabrics (cotton works well)
• Scissors
• Sewing machine
• Thread (matching or contrasting)
• Iron (optional for pressing)
• Ruler (for cutting fabric)
• Pins (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut Fabric Squares:

   • Cut your fabric into 5x5 inch squares. You will need two squares for each coaster.

2. Layer the Fabric:

   • Place one fabric square on top of the other, right sides together.

3. Pin the Edges (optional):

   • If you want extra stability while sewing, pin the squares together.

4. Sew with Zigzag Stitch:

   • Using a zigzag stitch, sew around the edges of the squares, leaving about a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Leave a small opening (about 2 inches) on one side so you can turn the coaster inside out.

5. Clip Corners:

   • Carefully trim the corners of the fabric (without cutting the stitches) to reduce bulk.

6. Turn Inside Out:

   • Turn the coaster right side out through the opening you left.

7. Press (optional):

   • Use an iron to press the coaster flat, making sure the corners are poked out.

8. Close the Opening:

   • Fold in the raw edges of the opening to match the stitched edges, and sew a zigzag stitch across to seal it shut.

9. Decorate (optional):

   • You can add decorative zigzag stitches along the edges or add embellishments for a personal touch.

Finished Size:

The coasters will be approximately 4.5 x 4.5 inches after sewing.

These coasters are not only quick to make but also serve as a practical addition to your home or as great gifts! If you have any questions or need further elaboration on any step, let me know!
