Creative Styling & Use Ideas

The best part about this cute zipper wallet pattern is how adaptable it is to your personal style! Go classic with pastel florals for spring, or use bold, modern prints for a true statement piece.

Hand Trendy Pro Tips

For truly pro results on your fabric coin purse sewing guide, here are my favorite tips! Always iron your interfacing to your fabric before sewing—it helps everything stay crisp and professional. Baste the zipper in place first if you’re nervous; it’ll keep things straight and stress-free! Mix and match coordinating fabrics for the lining and exterior for an unexpected pop of color. If you’re gifting, tuck a sweet note or tiny treat inside. And remember: your stitches don’t have to be perfect—handmade charm is part of the magic!
