 |
| 1. COIN POCKET: Make pockets first! Fold the COIN pocket fabric in half, slip fusible interfacing inside and iron to bond the interfacing. | 2. DOLLAR POCKET: Place wrong side of fabric over the stiff felt and stitch a 1/4" seam along one 5" side. |
 |
 |
| 3. Flip fabric up & over the top of felt so right side of fabric is facing. | 4. This is the back of the dollar pocket. Trim the excess fabric even with the felt at the bottom. |
 |
 |
| 5. Top stitch both pockets at top & bottom on your sewing machine. | 6. Hoop tear away stabilizer. Stitch placement line on stabilizer only. |
 |
 |
| 7. Center the COIN pocket next to outline. Pocket will extend past outline ~1/2" on sides. I dropped the fabric down to show outline. | 8. This shows the folded top of the pocket placed even with the outline. Tape in place. |
 |
 |
| 9. The next color stitches basting outline to tack fabric down and also stitches the first color of the design. Stitch rest of design following instructions in text file. | 10. Remove design from hoop, trim pocket by cutting just INSIDE the basting stitches along the sides with a ruler/rotary cutter (do not trim the bottom edge of the pocket) |
 |
 |
| 11. This picture shows a close up of how the sides are trimmed. | 12. Remove remaining basting stitches at the top and bottom. |
 |
 |
| 13. Remove the tear away stabilizer from back of pocket. Set aside. | 14. COIN PURSE BASE: Hoop Vilene or Aqua Magic wash away stabilizer. First color stitches outline, pocket placement lines on each side & center placement line. Flip hoop over, extend pocket placement marks on each side further out onto the stabilizer. |
 |
 |
| 15. With hoop on back side, center stiff eazy felt (or timtex) inside the outline at the top keeping the bottom edge of the felt even with center placement line. Tape in place. (Picture shows right side of hoop but the felt is easier to trim if placed on back side of hoop!) | 16. Flip hoop to right side, center fabric over outline. Tape in place at corners, put hoop on machine. Next color in design tacks fabric/felt down. Continue stitching design on front following text file instructions. |
 |
 |
| 17. When finished stitching design on the front, remove hoop and flip over. Trim the felt close to the stitches. (Again, this picture shows the front of hoop but the felt is really on the back of the hoop!) | 18. With hoop still on back side, center a 2nd piece of fabric inside outline (will cover the felt piece at top). Tape in place at corners, put hoop on machine. |
 |
 |
| 19. Next color in design tacks the back piece of fabric down & stitches a small circle for snap placement. | 20. Remove hoop from machine, trim the fabric close to the stitches on both side of hoop. |
 |
 |
| 21. With hoop still on back side, center the DOLLAR pocket inside outline keeping top edge of the pocket even with TOP placement marks on each side of outline. Tape in place. | 22. Next, center COIN pocket inside the outline keeping top edge even with the BOTTOM placement marks on each side. COIN pocket should be ~ 1/4" under the DOLLAR pocket. Tape in place. |
 |
 |
| 23. This shows the pockets taped in place. Flip hoop to right side and carefully put hoop on machine. Do NOT slide hoop across the bed of your machine or the pockets may move! (tape bottom corners too!) | 24. The next color tacks the pockets down. Remove hoop and trim the top pocket first, then trim the bottom pocket close to the stitches. |
| NOTE: Make sure the COIN pocket is centered evenly between the placement outline at the sides to keep the snap placement circle centered on the front of the coin purse! | |
 |
 |
| 25. Put hoop on machine and stitch the last color in the design which is the satin stitches along the raw edges of the fabric. | 26. Remove hoop, flip over. Trim design from stabilizer cutting 1/16" from satin edge. Run warm wet rag along edges to dissolve remaining stabilizer. Let dry. |
| 27. Install snaps on coin purse following manufacturers instructions. Use size 22 (1/2") or size 24 (5/8") snaps from www.snapsource.com | |
 |
 |
| 28. And here's a picture of the finished coin purse! Isn't this coin purse just as adorable as it can be?? | 28.
This just shows how folded bills and coins fit in the pockets. Credit cards will fit nicely in the coin purse as well! |

| INSTALLING
THE BUTTON SNAPS Download PDF File: Button Snaps..pdf (for these instructions) Link for ordering snaps: http://www.snapsource.com (800-725-4600) I used size 24 snaps for the designs but I think size 20 (1/2") would probably look nicer! |
|
| What
to order for size 20 (1/2") snaps: Item 31216 - Size 16 snap setter tool Item 31320 - Size 20 tool adapter Size 20 snaps (1/2") |
What
to order for size 24 (5/8") snaps Item 31216 - Size 16 snap setter tool Item 31324 - Size 24 tool adapter Size 24 snaps (5/8") |
| Note: The Size 16 snap tool adapter works for snap sizes 16, 18, 20 & 24. If you order more than one size snap you only need to order one size 16 snap setter tool and then just get the tool adapter to fit the size snaps you ordered! | |
 |
 |
| 1. Cut the eraser off the end of a pencil and push a straight pin through the center of the eraser. | 2. Close up of the straight pin centered in the middle of the eraser. |
 |
 |
| 3. Mark the center of the stitched placement circle on the pocket. | 4. Push the pin through the fabric so that the pin is facing up. |
 |
 |
| 5. Flip pocket over to wrong side and push the straight pin into a pin cushion. Slip the open prong ring down over the eraser. | 6. Push down on the edge of the open prong ring until the prongs pierce through the fabric all around the edge. |
 |
 |
| 7. Look closely and you can see the prongs sticking up through the fabric (it was hard to get a good close up!) | 8. This just shows how the open prong ring is centered around the stitched placement circle on the back of the pocket. |
 |
 |
| 9. Remove the eraser/pin but leave the open prong ring in the fabric for now. You will remove the prong ring before adding the pocket to the coin purse during the embroidery process, but leave the prongs in the fabric for now to form nice holes which make it a little easier to line up the prongs when you install it on the pocket later! | 10. When finished making the coin purse, reach inside the pocket and push the pin/eraser through the fabric at the center mark. Slide the open prong ring inside the pocket and slip it over the pin/eraser. Press on edges of the prong ring until the prongs stick up through the fabric. |
 |
 |
| 11. Carefully remove the pin/eraser leaving the prong ring intact. Slide the snap setter tool inside the pocket until the prong ring seats itself inside the indented circle on the snap setter tool. | 12. Slip the middle section of the snap setter tool over the bottom piece. Place the snap stud inside the hole on the snap setter tool. |
 |
 |
| 13. Slip the top section of the snap setter tool over the middle piece. Hammer the snap parts into place. | 14. Place the capped prong ring centered over the placement circle on the right side of the coin purse and push the prongs through the fabric. |
 |
 |
| 15. This just shows how the prongs are pushed through the fabric centered around the stitched placement circle. (the vilene stabilizer was not washed away from the edge of the fabric in this picture!) | 16. Slip the bottom of the setter tool underneath the coin purse until the capped snap is centered inside the indented circle on the tool. Slip the middle tool piece on, place the snap socket inside the hole. (The side of the socket with 8 tiny slits around the inner ring should be facing up!) |
 |
 |
| 17. Slip the top section of the snap setter tool over the middle tool piece. Hammer the snap parts into place. | 18. The finished snap pieces on the coin purse. |
