Clam Shell Purses

The Clam Shell Accessories Case Clover pattern reminded me of my childhood days when I had a rubber coin purse.  Squeeze the purse to reveal an opening for the coins.  

I thought it would be fun to use the scraps left over from sewing aprons for my grandaughters and make a couple of these cases. 

I’m embellishing with embroidery, beads and buttons.  The plain one obviously still needs embellishment, but I wanted to show the difference.  You can certainly be very creative with these cases!

I’m making the largest size; there is alot of room in there!  Of course, I’m going on a treasure hunt for trinkets that little girls would like, but these would make very nice sewing kits.

They are quite durable and fun.
