Hello DIY Hub friends, greetings to all of you. I hope you had a pleasant weekend and are ready to join me today to show you how I transformed small scraps of fabric into a cute coin purse.

Paso a paso/Step by step
Paso 1
Step 1
I started by marking the pattern of a small handbag I had, and then I marked it on a sheet of paper, then I went on to mark the same thing but on the brown fabric, I folded the fabric in half so that it would be double and then I marked and cut out the shape, I cut two parts because it will be for the inside and outside.

Step 2
Then sewed the two parts together, leaving only the square-shaped part at the bottom corners unsewn. Then I sewed the zipper, placing it on the front side of the fabric and sewing one side first, and then I moved to the other side of the coin purse.

Step 3
Then I sewed the square bottom part, after that part was sewn I turned the coin purse inside out and this is what it looks like once everything is sewn.

Step 4
Since I already had the coin purse ready, I started decorating it. I took a piece of fabric and marked the shape of an arch, which will be used to make the teddy bear's ears. Then I sewed the shape and turned it inside out, and this is how the ears look once they're sewn on.

Step 5
Once I had both little ears ready, I proceeded to sew them onto the coin purse, sewing them on the sides.

Step 6
Using the white scraps, I cut out the nose and eyes, then marked where they would go, and started sewing them on by hand. And that's how the little bear's face turned out.

And as a final detail, I sewed black beads onto the eyes to simulate pupils, and I also sewed a bead onto the nose.

I love how it turned out! It's small, practical, and unique, plus it gives me so much satisfaction to know I helped the planet by using scraps that would normally end up in the trash. Thanks to everyone for joining me today 👋
