Pattern Corrections and Tips

Puff Size: If puff stitches feel bulky, reduce to 3 HDC yarn-over repeats instead of 4.
Joining Panels: Ensure the edges align and stitch evenly to avoid gaps or uneven sections.
Strengthening Ears: For a sturdier finish, sew ears tightly into position instead of relying on crochet attachment alone.

Pro Tip for Longevity

If this purse will be used frequently, line the inside with soft fabric (like felt) for added durability and protection for coins.
