Redochre Report post Posted April 2, 2015 I made this a few weeks back for my niece. It's an easy project to do which looks and functions great, I used a magnetic clasp. The problem I ran into was the inside really needs to be a couple of mm smaller the the outside because if you follow the pattern exactly you do get some nast y bunching on the internal fold.

Halitech Report post Posted April 2, 2015 I didn't realize this was the challenge this month but I just finished this pattern. It's really cool and easy to make. Am I disqualified because I did it on March 31? Redochre, I didn't notice any bunching on mine and I used 4oz veg tanned leather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRHLeather Report post Posted April 2, 2015 Thefanninator, I was wondering if we should do up a few pictures from each challenge and attach them to the thread from the pattern. If you follow the thread from the drawstring bag, there are no pics of the actual bag that the pattern if for. Maybe just one pic from each completed item? Just a thought.

TRHLeather Report post Posted April 6, 2015 Randahl, what did you use to texture the inside of that? I love the thatched look to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted April 7, 2015 I printed the paper pattern, confirmed that the inner and outer pieces are the same, then made a my reusable pattern from a notebook. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Drakkon Report post Posted April 7, 2015 I made two of those for christmas, I think I'll give a third one a try so I can finally get in on a challenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24VOLTS Report post Posted April 8, 2015 Here are my attempts at the coin purse. I origionally wanted to use saddle tan by ecco flow but the leather did not take the dye. So I went with angelus bismark brown. I had some blue thread that was itching to be used. I hope the pictures loaded. Thanks, Phill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickthedig Report post Posted April 9, 2015 I went a slightly different way. Rather then two layers of veg tan I wanted to use a scrap of Horween Essex I had for the inside. It is very stretchy almost like a sheet of rubber, but the problem then was the snap would not work, so I added a strap. I left the Essex in its natural color and I dyed the veg tan in black with white stitching (Practice for a belt I am making). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calico Jack Report post Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Here it is. I don't have the snaps in my stock right now. Buying trip tomorrow so I will stock up then. Can't wait to finish it. I thought I would post a picture of what I had so far though. Edited April 13, 2015 by Calico Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joesu88 Report post Posted April 18, 2015 Hi All, Didn't know about this until Monica mentioned it. Finished the pouch yesterday. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MonicaJacobson Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I made one of these for my sister-in-law to go with her black purse, but I couldn't just make a plain black coin purse after all of you made such nice ones, so I made two. First one is black horween, second one is Derby horween with a piece of ostrich I got with my caiman pack, and lined with veg tanned. 6spi, tiger thread.

MonicaJacobson Report post Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks guys, I just barely got it done in time this month. As a side note, inlaying something soft makes the purse not work quite as well... oh well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
