We've seen a variety of pockets for purses and thought they were incredibly handy!  A little pocket for each item makes it so easy to change purses! Our 6x10 and 5x7 purse pockets have been well received but you asked for a small size for those little purses!

New Mini Purse Pockets are made completely InTheHoop (4x4 hoop required)!  No other hand sewing is required!

There are two different Mini Purse Pockets. One has a lg pocket on both sides and the second has a large pocket on one side and two smaller pockets on the other.   Make as many of the pockets as you need to accomodate your purse treasures and then simply tie them together for a hand purse insert!

 

Mini Purse Pockets are made for the 4x4 hoop.

 $10.00
