I just got back from a tropical paradise! Now it's time to sew and quilt with some island fabrics---
First off: a Skinny Pinny and coin purse in Hawaiian print for my secret SP Sister.... could this be you?
Well....I spotted The Fabric Mart not long after getting into the rental car and got to go in and get some island fabrics!
The island blues and greens were so luscious that I fell in love with those colors too! (We stopped here after zip lining to take in the beautiful site.)
Are you wondering what the Skinny Pinny is all about?

Upon arriving home from my vacation, I had a package awaiting me from the person that I had been assigned too! |
 |
| My gift-- a darling Owl Skinny Pinny and a note book. |
 |
| The note book will come in handy for my sketches, plans and quilting ideas and will be a perfect place to keep them from getting scattered about. Thanks so much Tamara! |
 |
| There were so many to choose from but my Skinny colleague loves blues, greens, and grays, so got some of those and some bright colors too. |

| It's a pin cushion swap organized back in January, hosted by Amy of eamylove -you can go to her site here. The pdf pattern from Green Bee Designs is linked here. (I changed the pattern a bit by eliminating a long side seam so my larger piece is 6 1/8 x 4 1/4" and the side pieces are 2 3/8 x 4 1/4") |
 |
| Skinny Pinny Hawaiian style! Complete with rice filling to give it just the right weight and a couple of free motion hibiscus flowers. It was suggested that we may want to include another little gift and/or chocolate-- as I speculated on that, I thought that maybe a coin purse would be nice? Read on for a coin purse tutorial... |
| COIN PURSE TUTORIAL: | YOU WILL NEED: |
| 4 SMALL SCRAPS OF FABRIC 4" X 5" | and (1) 7" zipper |
 |
| For the coin purse start with 2 pieces for purse and 2 lining pieces, each 4 x 5" (you could use charm squares) |
 |
| A 7" zipper works well because you can avoid the difficult to sew areas, around the pull and stop points. Line up zipper, as shown, with upper side (right sides together) and sew along 1/4" mark on the zipper. |
 |
| Fold sewn side back and line up the other side as shown. |
 |
| Place right side of fabric to right side of zipper aligning the edges and keeping the purse sides even and again, sew along the 1/4" mark on the zipper. |
 |
| Fold sewn edges back as shown. |
 |
| Open the zipper about 1/2 way as shown. |
Start with Coin purse 1,2, 3 and then go to GOPR0011, then GOPR0012  Coin Purse with lining tacked in.Ready to mail along with some macadamia nut chocolates!  |
