Vintage Inspired Coin Purse Free Crochet Pattern

I loved designing and crocheting this vintage inspired coin purse and I think you will enjoy making it! In addition to working a pretty stitch pattern, you will learn how to sew your crochet piece onto hardware. Java is a beautiful yarn that creates perfect stitch definition, with just the right amount of sheen. My daughters have been 'fighting' over this sample. Thank goodness it is a quick pattern to create, with a minimal amount of yarn, so I can easily make more!
