vintage love

I've just finished off a few new coin purses - haven't quite got as far as listing them all yet , but this one is up in my shop.

This gorgeous vintage fabric was an old pot holder... so old that when I unpicked the seams the wadding inside just floated out - it was powder! After a good soak and wash it has come up really well. I just love the mis-registration on the old fabrics, and the simplicity of this pattern really appeals to me.... I toyed with keeping it for myself, but I really don't need another coin purse...
