Drawstring Change Purse
When I was waiting tables, I decided I needed a little change purse to keep the tips in until I got home. None of the patterns online were what I was looking for, so I made my own. Here is the pattern, but please don't post the pattern elsewhere (just link to my blog, please), claim it as your own, or use the pattern to create items to sell.
