My First Purse

Whilst trying to find something at the weekend I came across the first purse I made whilst at infant school so thought I would share it.  I've sewn various stitches onto binca and also stitched in a lining - I think I may have had some help with the press studs as I can't imaging sewing them on my own!


My stitching has got a lot neater over the years!

  2. What a lovely thing to find! I remember making one like that, it's probably in my Mum's loft somewhere.

  3. What a great find Kath, I still have two needles cases made by both my daughters in the infant school I've had them for almost 50years and are used every week..

  7. What a lovely find, Kath. It reminded me of the after school sewing club I ran, not that many years ago, when I taught six and seven year old children how to sew using binca. xx

  9. Hi Kath

    How sweet!

    I can remember doing little mats and needlecases in a similar fashion - no lining in mine though. So lovely to come across such lovely keepsakes isn't it. Had you left any pennies in it though?

    Love Jules xx
