Yay! I made a cute little purse to match my daughter’s new dress and it turned out magical! I had no idea how this would make a triangular purse until I turned everything out. I want you to see it. Please visit my fb : Sarah sew

I meant to note that I used prequilted fabric so it was a breeze

Love it. I just made a 7 inch one as that was the only zipper I have. It makes a great standup makeup bag. I will post it later.

Yay! We learn something new everyday! You’re welcome. Oh, and WST is Wrong Sides Together. So RST and WST. hehe Great, I will give the zhang coin purse a whirl soon.

Enjoy your zhang when your mum makes you some! Yummy!

Now I learned a new sewing abbreviation, RST! Thanks!
You are right, the zipper ends are sewn together with the fabrics when they are RST.

Hi again,

Thank you for your reply! 2) RST means Right Sides together. So the question now is… It looks like I have to sew the zip fabric ends because of the 1/2″ seam allowance?

Cheers!

Hi jojo,
This is the answer for your question 1.
1) 3″ (from top stops to end stop) before sewing fabric ends, after sewing it is approximately 4 1/2″ (including the fabric ends}.
As for your question 2), can you please tell me what is the meaning of RST?
Thanks.

Hello!

In the spirit of zhang, I’d love to make these for my sisters. Thank you for sharing your tutorial with lots of pictures! I’m a visual learner and absolutely CRAP with written instructions. Also… absolutely crap with zips. Could you tell me:
1) how long the zip was, when you added the fabric ends to it, and
2) when the fabrics are RST, do you sew onto the zip fabric ends?

Thank you!! I look forward to making a successful zhang coin purse!
