Sew Powerful Purses #212-213 (2024)

Two more Happy Scrappy Batik Flappy Purses!!! Like yesterday's purses these are similar, yet different. I love creating each purse flap a bit different using batik fabric scraps. More purses to donate to Sew Powerful. 😃😘


flaps up
I even made a scrappy front pocket on the left purse. Notecards are inside as each purse needs a notecard for the girls these are donated to.

back pockets
The back pocket on the left is scrappy too, to match the front scrappy pocket.

Sew Powerful Purses #207-211 (2024)

5 Batik Scrappy Flaps with batik purse bodies. I love creating and using up scraps, especially batik fabrics as they are my favorite fabrics! The bright colors are what attracts me to batik. Even browns look better in batik,😂!!!

I really have fun playing with my scraps!

flaps up
All of these have the same batik bodies and lining fabric (which is not batik). I left the notecards in the pockets. Each purse must have a notecard included. The girls in Zambia love the cards as much or more than the purse they receive!

back pockets
The back pockets. 2 are scrappy pockets because I had started something a long time ago and never made anything with it, so these were the perfect size for the back pockets and there they found a new home. It feel great to use all these scraps to create something useful as well as artistic.
These are all being donated to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

Have a Happy Scrappy Day!

Sew Powerful Purse #205 (2024)

Batik purse, using scrappy strips for the flap. I think the orange strips were already sewn together and donated, so I added a strip at the top and the bottom to make it tall enough for the flap. A few added buttons for a bit of bling and it was done. The purse body is a blue batik fabric that was donated to me as well.

The batik has cute fishes printed on it.

Sew Powerful Purse #203 (2024)

Oops, somehow I forgot to post this purse and posted #204 yesterday instead 🙄, so now it's a bit out of order!!! Oh well, here is purse #203 now. 

Here's a purse I made using batik fabrics. The flap is scrappy batiks and the body is a batik print. I love creating the scrappy flaps! Not only does it look good, but feels great being able to use up all sizes of fabric scraps to create a one-of-a-kind flap that has an artsy vibe to it. I hope the girl in Zambia who receives this purse loves batiks and scrappy piecing as much as I do!

Donating this purse to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

Here is the batik purse body fabric that was donated to me for making these purses. Thanks Karen H.!!!

An added pocket on the back of the purse.

Cloud, Sun & Rainbow Cuddle Teethers

These adorable Cuddle Teethers are from Around the Bobbin patterns and are fast and easy to make! I tested these using flannel fabric, but you can also use Minky or other soft material too. The pattern comes with the safe silicone teether, which can easily be removed when you need to wash the cuddle part or the teether. Silicone rings are also sold separately in case you want to make more of these or use one of the other patterns from Around the Bobbin that also uses teethers.

The pattern, Rain or Shine is on sale 25% off (no code needed) for just a few days, so if you have a wee little one in your life or will be having one soon, grab the pattern while it's on sale and you can whip up one or all in just a few hours. These make great baby gifts too!

Rain cloud finishes at approx. 5 in x 8 1/2 in

Mini Sun finishes at approx. 2 1/2 in x 2 1/2 in

Rainbow finishes at approx. 5 in x 8 1/2 in


The ribbons makes a nice tactile fiddle toy as well as a teether to cuddle.

Here is the cloud with the sun.

This is the rainbow, of course. I decided to use a couple decorative stitches on my rainbow for a bit of added interest.

The back side of the rainbow.

Be sure and pop over to Around the Bobbin patterns and grab the pattern while it's on sale at 25% off! No code needed. Check out the other great patterns while you are there too. So many great patterns from quilts to bags to baby cuddles to trivets, oven mitts and more!
