Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
How many do you reckon are here?
And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

_The Evening Post_, 1 June 1923:
A RARE VISITOR
It is unusual to see a native pigeon in the city far from its natural haunts, but this morning one such bird flew into the Meteorological Observatory grounds at Thorndon.… The bird was tired and evidently hungry … Finding [no berries] it [left] … flying … [towards] Tinakori Hills. The native pigeon is highly protected, and is becoming rare in all parts of New Zealand.
