Sew Powerful Purses #217-231 (for 2022)

Hello beautiful people, I just mailed a box of 91 purses to Sew Powerful. Most of these purses were from the Sew-a-thon where I sewed 116 purses in the month of September. I had also mailed off a box to them in late September that was a mix of purses I had made prior to the Sew-a-thon, but needed some more purses to fill the box, so that box I added some purses from the Sew-a-thon in order to have a full box to send. I needed to make 15 more purses in order to fill the latest box and get it mailed off. 

231 purses made by me and sent this year feels great! I can still sew more purses in December, but I won't send them until I have a full box to send, so it won't get mailed until next year.  So while I will count any purses that I make through the end of this year as my total, Sew Powerful counts the total of what they received in 2022. 

These are the 15 purses I made to fill the box that I recently sent. All have the same red/purple floral print fabric on the front and back and I used scraps of that print along with other scraps I had to create the flaps of the purses. I get more purses cut out of each fabric that I use if I make the flaps scrappy. The flap is the largest piece to cut (in height), so if I cut the flap out of a print, I may or may not have enough fabric to cut the other exterior pieces.  It would be faster to sew if I cut the flap from one fabric, but not as creative or fun.

All the purse flaps are scrappy pieced with added button embellishments. These 3 have brown webbing straps.

These 2 have red webbing straps.

These 3 purses have a maroon color webbing strap.

These 3 purses have lilac webbing straps.

3 more purses with red webbing straps.

This purse has a dark purple webbing strap (even though dark purple tends to photograph more blue on my camera).

On all of the purses, I add a rivet to each upper side to secure the webbing straps.

This is the red/purple floral print on the back of the purse. This is how all the backs look in this print (except for the small portion of the pieced flap, the backs are the same).
