While Chinese around the world are prepping to usher in the Year of the Dog, I am busy sewing up a storm on my new design, making some cute animal coin purses and key pouches. This is the first free pattern and tutorial among the series – a cute Boston Terrier inspired Puppy Coin Purse.
Boston Terrier Puppy Coin Purse is a palm sized (3.5″ x 3.5″) cute little zipper purse, it is suitable for keeping loose coins and some cash notes. However, if you prefer a larger size puppy purse, you can always enlarge the template during printing and adjust the materials accordingly. It has a zipper closure on the top and a zipper pocket at the back. I have made an instruction on how to sew on the zipper the easy way.
I just love how the face and the tip of the dropped tip ear turn up in the design. The black buttons for the eyes and nose are in perfect sizes, not to mention the embroidery details on the face. So adorable that makes me wanted to sew a bigger version of puppy purse with a sling strap!!!
There are 7 more coin purse and key pouch in this series, a Husky puppy, Jack Russell puppy, Beagle puppy, Bunny, Monkey, baby Llama and a baby Deer, I promised that they are all overloaded with their own cuteness. In the following weeks, I will publish them in weekly basis, so stay tuned for the new free patterns to arrive at Craft Passion.
Have you spotted a Husky puppy? Husky puppy will be is [updated] the next free pattern in this series of animal themed coin purses and key pouches. The body of both coin purse and key pouch are the same, in other words, you can make Boston Terrier Puppy Coin Purse into key pouch as well. Puppy key pouch pattern and tutorial will be published a week later.
Happy sewing and wish everyone a year round of good luck and good health. Happy and Prosperous Year of DOG!!!
Oh my heavens!!!! These are the cutest coin purses! I’m totally in love – I’m 55 and have never seen before but I’m going to learn so I can make the Boston Terrier Coin Purse
Glad to know this, Melody 🙂
Hi, thank you so much for sharing these adorable patterns. Can I use felt to make these patterns?
Thanks & God bless 🙂
Yes, you may use felt to sew if you prefer it 🙂 Happy sewing.
You have caught each breed’s personality so well. You deserve applause, awards, parades . . . well, at least a heart felt thank-you from me!
Thank you, Zuzannah 🙂

Hello from South Brazil
God bless you for sharing your ideas and patterns. You are very talented.
Puppy is adorable! Thank you so much. I am looking forward to more of them. Happy Chinese New Year!
Thank you so much for this darling pattern. Your instructions are so clear that I think I may have to make up one of these puppies to tuck in my purse.
OMG! This is so adorable! Thank you for being so generous xx
I love this Boston Terrier coin purse! I have a commercially made one, but this one is so much cuter 🙂 Years ago, I had eight Boston’s, down to three now, my little babies are 12-15 years old. Thank you for sharing!
Oh goodness. I volunteer at the local animal shelter and would love to make these for gifts to the staff. I think they would love them, especially our small dog lovers. Thanks for publishing this darling project.
