Darling to look at, but easy enough for beginning crocheters.

The coin purse measures 5”H x 9”W and is a great size for use as a makeup bag, but still large enough that you can put your wallet and phone in it and carry it as an evening bag or clutch when you need to travel light.

It’s made from nylon cord, which is incredibly durable and gives the purse a nice structure, but has a soft, feminine sheen that you will love. And La Espiga comes in over 80 colors so you can find one to please any tastes. I can typically make two of these clutches from one roll, so one for me and one to give away. :-)

Once crocheting is complete, finishing your purses requires some sewing to add a lining and a zipper closure. You can use a machine or hand sew. If sewing isn’t in your skill set, recruit a friend or family member with seamstress skills to help. It only takes a half hour to create the lining and set the zipper. I have filmed a step-by-step instructional video to walk you through the process that can be viewed at my site, http://funcrochetdesigns.com/crochet/index.php/helpful-tips/.
