I love sewing purses for the Sew Powerful Purse Project! It allows me to use up some fabric scraps (and create new scraps too 😜), but more importantly, I can help girls out in Zambia to allow them to stay in school every month (when they have their periods) so they can get an education and not miss school, since they aren't allowed to make up any missed days. The girls are so appreciative too! Plus, they employ local women to sew the reusable pads, make the laundry soap and the uniforms and this allows the women to earn a good wage (and many have been able to leave prostitution). All this is possible from donations from people like you. It costs $10 to fill each purse with the supplies that are needed for the girls.
For this Blog Hop I made some purses using a fabric of small panels of elephants. I cut out 2 of the elephants and sewed scraps around it to create the flaps. That's 2 more purses to donate.
Check out the other Jungle blog hop participants too!
