Medicine, coin purse

Easy! A single 100-yen shop cut cloth works wonders—people will love it as a gift! 😆

A small pouch that can hold medicine or coins is highly practical and makes a useful gift.

Fuse interfacing to the fabric and create the handle and body pieces.

Securely sew the handle to a ring placed in the center with a sewing machine, then fold the corners to add dimension.

Finish by attaching a button.

Although you’ll use a sewing machine, it’s mostly straight stitching, so it’s approachable even for beginners.

Choosing fabric patterns to match the season or personal taste adds an extra touch of originality.

For older adults, it’s not only convenient for keeping essentials close at hand; the thoughtfulness of making something just for them is an added delight.

It’s a gift that combines practicality and warmth, reminding the recipient of the giver each time it’s used.
