Sew Powerful Purse #193 for 2024

I used textured rubbing plates and paint sticks to first create the background and then stenciled this African Woman on the flap. Added some crystals on her earrings and and created a necklace of crystals too. Another Sew Powerful Purse donation is done.

I had to piece the fabric for the back pocket in order to have a large enough fabric for the pocket, so I stitched some ribbon over the pocket seam, since the gingham didn't line up exactly.

The gingham is actually a flannel fabric. I liked the colors, so I used it as the purse body.

You can see the whole flap here. Maybe I will lower the stencil on the next one I do so that the top of her head wrap is not folded over to the back.

Pin It Now!

  1. This stenciled African woman is stunning. I hadn't noticed till you said something about lowering her for the next one. Good idea, though.
