I found this beautiful fabric on sale at Target. This table cloth measuring 60”X84” was marked at $9.00 but was on sale for $6.95! I had to buy it!

As soon as I saw this bright lemon fabric I knew exactly what to make with it. I have been following Grosgrain: Free Pattern Month and on day 21 Native from verypurpleperson shared the Scallop Hat Tutorial.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

So I set to work. Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped key fobs with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template PDF. Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.
