I thought I'd write a guide to some of my various Fabric Stuff products, with pictures showing potential uses and items for scale.

What is a Coin Purse?

Of course you can use it to keep money in, (smash, small change, coin of the realm, spiccioli), or some tablets or a few plasters. Or you can also use it for anything small that might fall out of a pocket as the zip keeps it secure.

Coin Purses are heavily interfaced inside and out, with contrasting ribbon tag.  For money or any small things needing to be kept safe.

External Size: 12.5cm wide and 9.5cm tall.
​Zip opening 10.5cm.

What is a Pyramid Bag?

Pyramids are similar to a coin purse only a more 3D shape. What can you keep in them? Anything you like! Phone charger would be one suggestion, but some folk have been using them for smaller notions, others for all the bits and bobs that collect in a handbag. 

Heavily interfaced, with strong, grosgrain ribbon strap.

External size: 12cm wide at base, 12cm high at back, zip opening 12cm.

What is a Box Bag?

A Bag in the shape of a Box, no really! Drawstrings are soft, and squashable, these box bags are more structured. The shape comes from the zip and the seams formed at the ends and corners, enhanced by the final press where I create a crease along the edges.  Box bags are heavily interfaced, with a quilted/padded handle, ribbon tabs at either end of the zip. The lining colour matches the inside of the strap and there are no exposed seams inside.
​External size: 23cm along the zip at the top, 11cm wide and 9 cm high. Strap measures 33cm.

What is a Notions Case?

These cases have a feature fabric on a panel or around one end that matches the lining. The rest of the outer is either denim or a linen cotton blend fabric. Quilting provides light protection but the case is still quite soft and not knock proof.

External size: 23.5cm along zip, 12cm wide.

Due to the light padding of the quilting the inside is slightly smaller but comfortably takes pencils or 20cm dpns.

What is a Tea Wallet?

Lots of people tell me they use these to carry wrapped herbal and fruit teas when they go out.  You could also carry cards, tickets, receipts.  

Closed with a single pop fastener this small wallet is interfaced with a soft outer and light inner to be pliable but sturdy. There are 3 pockets, the back one is the full depth, with the middle and front pockets having lower openings.
​

External Size: Closed - 12cm wide and 8.5cm tall. Open 15cm tall.
Pocket depths: from 5 cm to 7.25 cm and 9.5cm to 9cm wide max.

What is a Double Purse?

Two zips, two sides, two compartments. It's hard to put into words, holding it and turning it over and over in your hand is strangely satisfying. In corduroy the nap goes in the same direction all the way round.

Each side is colour co-ordinated - the zip, the ribbon, the lining fabric and the dominant embellishment on that side are all the same colour, so you can remember which side you put which item in.

External Size: 13cm wide and 10.5cm tall.
​Zip opening 11.5 cm.
