Stitch the Last Side
Make a Change Purse

Unzip the purse before you stitch up the other side.

Since we are working inside out, you need to unzip the purse before you stitch up the other side. Otherwise, you are going to have a heck of a time trying to turn the purse right-side out.

Stitch just as you did the other side, putting the needle through the edges of the zipper so that it becomes part of the side seam. Turn your purse right-side out and bask in the glory of your massive sewing skills.

Now your change purse should be complete. For an option with less sewing, try a cassette tape wallet. You can also check out our extensive stencil library to add some patch or spray paint designs to your purse like hearts or stars.
