This coin purse was originally designed and featured in Happily Hooked’s Pattern Pack Pro February 1st publication.

When I designed this, I was looking forward to the challenge of working up a coin purse, as I had been wanting to make one (or ten), but the idea of sewing to a purse frame really intimidated me. If you are intimidated too, let me tell you, it is so easy!

For this purse, I used a fun pattern I had been playing with for a while, but didn’t know just what to do with. Front post stitches are used to achieve the texture. On a hat and such, the pattern twists an awful lot, making it a little difficult to keep straight if you are planning on adding something like a monogram or symbol - unless you turn, I suppose - but I knew this look would be perfect for this purse. The name came to me when I saw the swirl of the pattern in combination with the name of the colorway, “Cool Waters”. I did not buy the thread with the thought that it would work out this way. Win - win!
