DIY macaron coin purse
An addendum to the list of things to sew in the last post: check out these little macaron coin purses. One hundred percent adorable! I want to eat them up. Get the instructions here from Joanne at Craft Passion. You know her. She's the same genius who provided directions for the self-zipping coin purse.

These are beyond adorable and perfect valentine presents for kids. Unfortunately my hand sewing would never hold up.
These are so super cute!
Definitely adorable!! Make me one! (Hey, I'd say it's about your turn!) ;)
Mum
ack! this is so freaking cute!
Gorgeous and so cute - but they are macarons not macaroons!
Just too cute!! Might need to try this soon...
I love macarons! I adore these. I want to make one in every colour possible! I'm going to try the tutorial out, thank you.
So today I learned there is such a thing as a macaron. I've only seen macaroons before, and a google image search of macaroons yields something that looks exactly like these coin purses.
I assumed Joann's post had a typo in it, silly me! So, friends, what is the difference between a macaron and a macaroon?
They're so adorable!

so cute, but zippers intimidate me, and a circular zipper frightens me.
So cute and too lovely not to share onwards! I shared this on my blog, giving full credit to you and to Craft Passion, hope that's okay... http://thejoyofsew.blogspot.com/
They are both useful and sweet! Meanwhile, I sent my daughter the link to the Outside Oslo fabric collection with the subject line "you'll be breathless" and she wrote back, "I already made pillows with that fabric!" I should have known, she has excellent taste!
I think these might have migrated from Japan, I have seen loads of here, first appearing maybe 6-9 months ago and macaroons seemed to take over from cup cakes, the Japanese sure like a fad craze :o)
Super adorable! :)
This is just perfect!
Hm, I'd say a macaron is one of those teeny-weeny trendy little coloured meringue doobries and what those purses look like. And over here (UK) a macaroon is much bigger and sort of somewhere between a biscuit (that's a cookie to you) and a cake. Often with rice paper underneath and a cherry on top. The most common variety seems to be the coconut macaroon and very tasty it is too. I think you get almond ones too. The Wikipedia entry for Macaroon doesn't reflect my English macaroon experience 100% but might give you some idea. And uh-oh, Grandma G is looking a bit mutinous...
Thanks, Nina!
And... I think you're right. My stream of handmade goodies from Mum might be coming to an end soon, unless I reciprocate! Yikes!
Wow, those are tiny. The comments from your Mom make me laugh, you guys are funny!
Yes, Nina... it's called "Mutiny of the Bounty".
Oh my gosh, those are so cute! I love little containers and so do my kids, so I'm definitely going to be making some of these.
Those make me think of petit fours. Delicious and totally something fun to have on hand.
So flippin' cute!
The are ridiculously adorable! I've got to give these a go. Such cuteness!
Thanks for sharing.
Too cute!! :-)
These are just perfect! I have been looking for something like this for ages. :)
I'm French, so I'm very familiar with macarons. Put the word 'macaron' in Google Images and you will return a whole page of wonderfully colourful pictures of macarons. These little cakes are not only delicious-looking, they are scrumptious: they melt in the mouth. Some of the best ones are made by Ladurée. My favourite flavours are Rose and Salted Caramel, but Pistachio is gorgeous too, and Blackcurrant and Raspberry... LOL!
The little purses are spot on!
Bela, you're a macaron expert! And you're making me hungry.
Well, you made me salivate first. LOL!
Jess, my mum (who has agreed to make me a 2 Zip Hipster thanks to you!) has been VERY pleased with the little purses I made her using the Slouchy Make-up Bag pattern from flossieteacakes.blogspot.com, and it's not too difficult or time-consuming... But don't tell Grandma G that... Also I think designing the fabric yourself should count for *something*, right?!
Great! Thanks for the pattern tip. Grandma G doesn't wear a lick of makeup, but I could make this for someone else sometime... or GG could store cat toys in it. Or tea bags. Or sewing notions, like zippers. To use on more bags for me. Heh heh.
Good thing I'm not following this comment thread.
macaroons are those disgusting cookies full of shredded coconut. GROSS. macarons are wonderful little airy, slightly chewy cookies made with almond flour and egg whites. they're served sandwiched together with delicious fillings like salted caramel, lemon curd, chocolate ganache, and just about everything else you can imagine. you must try!
Oh yeah. I've had the sandwich kind from a bakery, but I thought they were called macaroons. Whoopsies.
Grandma G: Um, yeah, good thing.
And macaroons ARE disgusting cookies full of shredded coconut. ;(
I can't WAIT to try out this tutorial. Now I won't need to stash my jewelry in my glasses case when I'm visiting relatives.
these are really adorable. Thanks for sharing.
Holy cow. This is SO made for me! WANT THESE!
These are way too cute...

Way too cute!!
I'm not a make-uppy sort either but you can keep all manner of things in those purses. I also scaled the pattern pieces up to make a wash-bag - keep meaning to blog that. Certainly is a good thing Grandma G never reads the comments, or we'd never have gotten away with this.
Certainly, Nina. Certainly!
I copied the instructions, reformatted them, and printed them out. Now all I have to do is make it. I have been wanting to make a hard sided container that zips. Past attempts at doing so have failed. Miserably. Thanks for the link!
Love love love those!! Tricky for a beginner like me though, might come back to it in a few months time!!
These are way too cute and make me think about three precious days I spent in Paris a few years ago-this first time I had a macaroon and pretty much the best macaroon too! That is until I saw these...
Oh these are sooooo adorable. But I haven't put in a zipper since high school in home economics. And that was a long time ago.
oh my goodness, these are just the cutest!
