2 more painted, stenciled, African women on the purse flaps. I made these before realizing the top of the heads would be folded back and cut off a bit, so next time I paint the stencils, I will be lowering the stencils down a bit on these and some other stencils I have too. I need to measure them and mark on the side of the stencil so that I know in the future where to place them. They still look good this way, but I want to see the entire head next time.

| Added buttons and crystals for some girly bling! |

| Fronts of each purse. |

| Backs of each purse with pockets. The pocket on the right I stitched the ribbon and the yarn over the seams, since I had to piece the pocket to make it large enough. I hope it doesn't look too odd? At least it will be worn against the girl's body and not seen, except by her. |
Two more purses to be donated to
Sew Powerful. The next purse I share will be the 200th purse I completed for this year! But I have a lot more purses that I have made and am still making, so the end of the year total could exceed 300 purses this year if I get more sewn and completed by then.🤞
i like the large stencil but if you made it smaller that would be good too. love the inside fabrics as well
