From the top, measure 1" then cut out a small triangle as shown to serve as the separation of the head and body.

Unfold it then form the foot, cut towards the center or almost at the center to give allowance for the waist and body as shown. Do it at both side. Shape the body not to thin so that it will not easily break.

Lets try to make a coin purse with a long zipper, with out cutting it and sewing at opposite ends.

We need:
Picture
1) 8" x 4" cloth or like what I used here is a water proof material used in back packs.

2) 8" long zipper, yes it have no partner.

3) Zipper slide.


Few materials to work with. Very easy project.

We start off by:
Picture
1) Sew the zipper at one of the edge, the put the zipper slide.

Picture
2) Put it at its wrong side.

3) Sew the open side.

4) Sew the open bottom.

(You don't need to do this) I wanted to secure more the stitches by tying the threads before cutting them.

Picture
5) Reverse the coin purse and we have our done project.

 
We will now create a bookmark which I made out of need for the book I was trying to read for days. It's a simple and easy do-it-yourself project.
Picture
All we need is a tarpaulin of 3.5 inches by 1.5 inches.

Picture
We start doing the project by:

1) Fold the  material lengthwise and cut the edges, to create a curved edge.

Picture
2) Cut trough the center starting from the bottom and stopping about half an inch at the top.

Picture
3) Then fold it again, continue cutting from the center horizontally then cut down from the center to show quarters.

Picture
When unfolded this is how it would look.

And able to bookmark a clamp of pages.

A very simple modification from the usual bookmark that we usually make. This bookmark will hold on to the page it is bookmarking so that it will not accidentally slip off from the book.
