I made mine a kitty, but the base is quite the same.
I used a sewing machine too, though. It seemed to me that it would be sturdier.
But since the base is still quite similar, I thought people liking this one could figure themselves how to do it =)
It's so easy you can do it with your eyes shut!
(but still, don't try :o)
I've been needing a coin purse for a while, so I'm happy~~ ='D
