Robot coin purse

robot coin purse
I sewed a coin purse the other day because my new wallet is pretty flat and doesn't really hold as much change as I would like (I should probably be less lazy and use my change so this wouldn't be a problem.) Plus, this was an excuse to use some awesome fabric I made a treacherous trip (it was snowing!) to buy right before the holidays (at my new favourite store, the workroom.) Unfortunately, I didn't finish the tiny inside pocket the way I would have liked (because I was lazy) and now it's really bothering me (I had already taken the coin purse apart once because part of it was uneven - off by 3 millimeters - but I couldn't justify taking it apart again. OCD!)

The coin purse is drawstring style so that it looks like I'm carrying a small sack of gold nuggets.

I also made some cards.

I stayed up until the asscrack of dawn a few days ago making cards because I felt guilty for not having any to give away (even though I haven't given out cards in a billion years.) Whatever. Since I had the materials and equipment, time wasting ensued:

birds
Cutting some birds (sounds sinister; I like it.)

more birds

Printed and hanging to dry. Gold ink is great.
