Welcome to Day #2 of the
UR Priceless Blog Hop!
I hope you enjoy my little show and tell today. I'd like to thank Katherine from Sew Me Something Good for hosting this huge blog hop. I'm sure it's been quite a lot of work to organize and communicate with all of the participating bloggers. And another thank you goes to Madame Samm, who is the wind beneath the sewing machines of these blog hops. She is one busy lady!
On with the show!
Purse #1...... a little functional purse for the sewing room. I've used some cute sewing themed fabrics to make this purse.
It's purpose is as a thread catcher at my ironing station. I just hate it when I find loose threads when I'm ironing a block or any sewing project. I always think I'll go back and clip the threads later, but it can be hard to find them afterwards. I just keep a little scissor and the thread catcher right by the iron and the threads are captured right away and put into the pouch.
Purse #2 ...... my coffee money purse.
Here it is in action, holding some coffee money. Is it really cheaper to use those little K-cups or should I just pick up a coffee-to-go once in awhile? Oh well... sip... sip... slurp...
Purse #3...... a little purse to hold some Christmas money, kind of like an honor system Christmas club.
The other side.......
Purse #4......Oliver, my cat and always present sewing assistant, decided that he wanted to have a little purse of his own. He has no money, so I wasn't sure why he would want one.
He picked out what he thought were "manly" cat fabrics.
When it was finished, here's what he wanted to use it for...... a little pouch to hold some kibble! I guess it would be easy to take it into the other rooms of the house, as the kitchen is the only room with available cat food. (I'd better not find crumbs in his cat bed!)
Mmmmmmm...... this looks pretty good.........
Munch, munch, munch!
Purse #5....... a little Fall themed purse..... good for holding little treats.
Inside.......
Things were going pretty well until someone smelled the candies. I guess it's always good to share!
I have a few more purse frames left and will be making more soon. After the first purse, they went together fairly easily and quickly. They will be probably be given away as little gifts, used to hold even smaller gifts.
I hope you have enjoyed looking at my little coin purses. Now you will want to move along and visit the other bloggers that are showing off their creations today;
Enjoy the UR Priceless Blog Hop!

So cute... all of them.. What is the name of the sewing theme fabric?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joy! The fabric line is from Red Rooster, called "The Sew it Book Collection by the Vintage Workshop, by Amy Barrickmano." I've had it for a few years but it seems like you can always track down old fabrics online. The whole line is pretty cute.
DeleteThe selvedge was blurry....it's by Amy Barickman.
DeleteJeanie, your coin purses are fabulous! What a fun post, I enjoyed reading the story behind each one. Each one is unique and fun! They will delight each lucky recipient... but keep at least one for yourself to enjoy. ;o)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for being a part of this hop.
UR Priceless!
Thanks, Katherine! They were fun to make and I know I'll have to keep the one that Oliver was testing out for me! Thanks for visiting!
DeleteKatherine.....too early here.... I forgot to thank you, too, for all of your hard work. Another successful blog hop that doesn't just "happen".... it takes a lot of effort from behind the scenes too. Thanks so much!
Deleteoh I did laugh at your cat trying to get into the purse! All of your purses are lovely - the coffee one is my absolute favourite, love that fabric for buying the daily essential :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment and for visiting my blog, Theresa. I'll tell Oliver that you liked his poses! (Now it's time for an early cup of coffee and off to the voting booth!)
DeleteOh these are excellent and wonderful photo's too!
ReplyDeleteThank you memmens! I appreciate the comment and thanks for visiting today!
DeleteOk...all very cute but the cat one is my favorite, even before the cat showed up. Cat pics? Adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charlotte! Oliver will be happy to see this comment! :) Thanks for visiting!
DeleteYOU are indeed priceless in sew many ways...all we have to do is look at your collection...love the photos and coin purses to a T...
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet comment, Madame Samm! Thanks for your hard work too... and the inspiration for these purses. I really enjoyed making them and will be making more!
Deletep.s you best check well you know....and ps...if I were American I would certainly be voting...
ReplyDeleteThank you for choosing me! I'm honored! There was a line to vote this morning.....it was wonderful to see a great turnout at 6 AM!
Deleteawesome pictures!! cute purse, can't believe you got your cat to eat out of it. LOL and then the mouse looks HUGE compared to the purse.... too cute
ReplyDeleteThanks Bea! Oliver is so patient with me that he seems to enjoy our photo sessions. And that mouse was a big cut out.... more like a monster rat than a mouse!
DeleteYour purses are wonderful -- I love the fussy cuts, I need to make some of those! I appreciate the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks, gpc! I seem to buy a lot of fabric with large motifs on them and then don't know what to do with them. Kind of hate to cut them up to get one little section but that's fabric is for.... to cut up and use!
DeleteI love all of your coin purses! Cannot choose a favorite because every time I did, I like the next one just as much!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet, Thearica! I'm glas you stopped by for a visit!
DeleteYour post made me smile. I loved the story with each little purse.
ReplyDeleteThanks, SuperMom! They were fun to make and I'm sure I'll be making more soon.
DeleteGreat idea for the purses to hold smaller gifts. I think I may use these for some gift cards for the girls on my list.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Jenny! They are small, but they can hold all kinds of things if you put your mind to it. I'm sure I'll be putting some in stockings this Christmas and put a little candy in the coin purses.
DeleteSo incredibly cute, love the ideas and the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joyce! Come back for a visit soon!
DeleteLove the purses and the sewing fabric on the first one. I love sewing themed fabric - I guess we all do! Do you remember where yours came from?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Littlelixie! I bought the fabric at a local quilt shop a few years ago. Read the first comment on this blog to see what the fabric line is and maybe you can google it to find more. Good luck and thanks for visiting!

Thanks, Kelly! Oliver is a ham and loves to have his picture taken. Thankfully, I don't have to force him to cooperate. Thanks for the nice comment and visiting my blog!
DeleteAll of the coin purses are quite beautiful. How cute is that ... Oliver checking out the contents with his paw. Guess it was the right kind of kibble since he dove in head first. So very cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Janarama! Oliver is such a willing subject and I enjoy taking advantage of his cuteness. Thanks for visiting the hop!
DeleteYour purses are just lovely! I love the idea of the one for coffee money!

DeleteLove your purses! Moses the Studio Cat especially liked the idea of a kibble holder - now he wants one, too! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Snoodles! I think Moses and a few other cats and dogs are all waiting to have their own purse. I guess Oliver has started a trend! Thanks for the sweet comment!
DeleteThanks, Mrs. Pickles! And thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
ReplyDeleteWonderful purses with so much variety. My favorite was the "sewing" one and I like your use of it, too. Got a real laugh out of the kitty one and your pictures of them both!! Not sooo fond of the mouse one...hope he's a pet and not just a frequent visitor your home! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks, LJ! Not to worry, the mouse was just a cardboard cut out! Oliver was real, though, and enjoyed having his picture taken with his new purse. Thanks for your great comments!
Delete-lovely purses, funny photos ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Liebe Grüße
