Sew Macaron Coin Purse

Picture 1 of 4 (Click arrow for more pictures)

Just can’t help for not making these sweet little macaron coin purses when one of Craft Passion’s Facebook fans showed them to me. Thanks to XYZZhandmade for her inspiring handmade and some tutorial links in Japanese, this, this, this and this. No, I can’t read Japanese but I can guess from the pictures on how to sew it. Here is the English version of tutorial on how to sew this macaron coin purse where I add more details in the sewing.

The space inside the coin purse is quite limited but good enough to place some small jewelries like ear rings, rings; may be to keep some small coins, folded money; a place to keep small piece of note that wrote your shopping list and reminder etc. Or, simply use it as a key chain or hanging ornament. Or, turn it into something enormously cute, like this.

I have tried both nylon and metal zipper, each gave different feel and effect on the macaron coin purse. Nylon zipper is easy to sew since you can just cut the zipper to the correct length. Zipping and unzipping is easier on nylon zipper too. Aesthetic wise, I like metal zipper though it requires more works to do. If you find zipping on metal zipper is craggy due to small circular shape, rub the zipper’s teeth with some wax or candle, then zip and unzip a few times, you will find zipping is smoother after the waxing.

      Craft shop like Jo-Ann will have the cover button, but I bought my from a Japanese dollar store, Daiso. I am guessing that you are from Italy, probably you will need to do some asking among your country to find out where to get locally. Amazon would be another alternative if they ship to your country. Hope this help.

    Hi, my mimi supply store is here http://www.etsy.com/shop/handmadesource and I stock a range of macaroon aluminium bases as well as short zips and some lovely fabrics. I am a stay at home Aussie Mum who is currently living in Beijing so I have made a micro business from items I can get in this part of the world. I wanted to get your permission to be able to use this link to show people how to make the coin purse. Would it be OK? Please let me know, your work and explanations are lovely. Thanks Helen

    This is SO adorable! Could we not cover the entire inner lid part in fabric and rather than add the flat solid insert, have a concave top and bottom with plenty of room inside to put coins or tiny things in?
