since we have fabric anyway ... coupon pouch
5 Attachment(s)
My mother's 83rd birthday is next week. I've made her quilts, toppers, place mats, napkins, bags, and other purses. So ... I decided to make her a coupon holder for the restaurant coupons she keeps in the pocket in the door of her car. Searching for Coupon organizers I found this nice pattern:
http://jedicraftgirl.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html I just wanted something small - she is not an extreme couponer! I seem to be spatially challenged and several times something I have made turns out a completely unexpected size. This organizer is more of a clutch - it would be great with dividers for a big shopping trip's worth of coupons, but ... not for my mom. So I used the same idea and just made it smaller. I know she'll love it. I'm going to stock it with a few gift cards for places I know she and her church ladies like to go to for Sunday lunch. I've told my kids about it. My son is putting in a "coupon" for an oil change and my daughter is putting in one for a family meal with her family - complete with pick-up and delivery service. I know she'll love it! |
those are adorable!! she will love them and get a lot of use out of them too.
|
What a thoughtful gift, your Mom will be pleased and touched I'm sure.
|
Those are really cute! Thanks for the pattern.
|
These are very nice. I like them.
|
I would love a gift like this and the coupons are wonderful! I think this will be a "SCORE"

that is so cute and a great idea
|
Really great idea for a gift for those that don't want anything! I like the idea of everyone putting in a coupon or gift card!
|
Nicely done.
|
What a neat idea!! It would be a fun gift to receive!!
|
What a great gift for someone who has 'everything'. They turned out so nice and she will love them. The gift cards make it extra special!! What a wonderful idea!
|
nicely done
|
What a great gift. It's always hard figuring out what to give someone who has everything. This is perfect.
|
FAB IDEA!!!! Never thought of a coupon pouch for the door in my SUV. I usually have folded up BB&B and Chili's coupons in the door. I'll make one soon to avoid the lightweight coupons from flying away on a windy day. Thanks!!
|
What a wonderful gift. I love the fact your kids will be putting in some coupons as well. I know your mother will be delighted and will show it off to everyone!
|
An awesome gift for mum and the look just beautiful.
|
What a great idea!!!!! Good work!!!
|
What a wonderful idea. You did such a good job! I will have to put that one on my bucket list. Our kids keep us supplied with gift cards and certificates to our favorite restaurants, etc.
|
Very cute and sure she will love it.
|
Very nice and the coupons and gift cards are such a fabulous idea. Perfect gifts for someone who has everything they need.
|
How neat and quick is that. Thanks for the pattern tute. A Dear friend is having a B-Day tomorrow, and I had planned to make her a casserole carrier today if I have time, but I like this idea better. I am giving her a 3-ring binder with various casserole recipes I found on the internet, this will be a quick and cute gift to go with it. She is a super cook and probably uses coupons, not sure, but this will be a great quick thing to make today. Thanks again!!
|
