Chinese New Year is upon us. If you’ve never been part of a Chinese New Year celebration, you’ve missed a lot of fun! Get yourself to a fine Chinese restaurant and order some of the specialties available this time of year. Then, rush home and make one of these adorable little purses in which you can stash your cash, some jewelry, or a few tissues. Or, make it for a kiddie who loves bears. Either way, it’ll be a hit – and easy to make with the tutorial that accompanies the free pattern.
