I needed to add a few fabric strips to make the quilt block the right size for the purse flap. |
Love those flip flops! |
This print is so fun and perfect for summer! |

Anything goes when using tiny bits of fabric scraps. |
These flaps all look great once they are done. |
All the fronts look like these, but the lining may vary. The tie dye look fabric for the purse bodies was given to me by a quilter. Thanks Rosalie! |
The backs all look like theses with pockets. Just love that bright wild fabric! |
Quilted and added couched yarns and added buttons. |
This was a fabric that was given to me by a quilter I know. I love the tie dye look! |
Back slip pocket. I made several purses using this tie dye look lightweight canvas material and scrappy flaps. I will be sharing the rest of them soon. Donating this and a whole box of other purses I made to Sew Powerful Purse Project. I just packed up a box of 95 purses this morning. Yippee!!! Got to go clean and oil my machines next and then start sewing some more kits I just cut up ready to sew. It sure feels good to send a box of purses off to help some girls in Zambia and South Africa too. I used up a lot of fabric, but still no visible dent in my fabrics, except for the selvages that I used making a ton of flaps recently and the denim jeans I used for several purse bodies too. Now I need to make more denim scrappy flaps like this one to shrink the denim scraps bag down. |
I use all sorts of scraps, even the outer cut out bits of hearts, and circles from die cutting. Embossed blue tulle and lots of quilting hold it all together. |
I also add bits of sparkly yarn, vinyl scraps, an organza scraps. |
The left purse I couched some yarn and rickrack on top. |
I used up this blue home dec print that I have had for years. All the purses look like these. |
All the backs with slip pockets look like these. |
A fabric with a bee and the butterfly is part of the embossed tulle. |
Another bee. June is Bee Challenge on the Sew Powerful Facebook Group. |
Front slip pockets. |
Back slip pockets. |
