Sew Powerful Purses #386-392 for 2026

7 more purses finished during the Sew-a-thon & Fundraiser this month for Sew Powerful. Thank you for supporting me in this effort with your kind words and donations. There are many sponsors who have generously donated products for prizes for the Sew-a-thon. The top 2 people who received the most donations during the fundraiser will get to choose the prize they want (like a particular model of a Bernina, Janome or Babylock sewing machine that was offered). Then everyone who has received $100 or more in donations will be in the drawing to possibly win a prize by other sponsors generated by a random number generator. No guarantee of winning anything though, but to me the biggest prize is knowing that there will be 1,000's of girls who will receive an education and can stay in school all month long. Scroll to the end to donate on my behalf to keep a girl(s) in school. Thank you!

I used a wool flower and hand stitched it on.

One of the purses below has this lining because the 2 purses below were made by upcycling a red Starbucks apron. The pocket you see is the apron pocket, so I didn't need to make a pocket, yay! 

I got 2 purses made by upcycling a Starbucks apron. I used red scraps, including scraps from the apron, to create the flaps. I added a wool appliqué teacup & saucer and teapot.

I cut a charm pack into smaller squares.

2 scrappy batik fabric flaps.
