Sew Powerful Purses #233-237 (2025)

The last 5 purses I have sewn for now. More Debbie Mumm prints, selvages and scraps. 

I am busy now cutting out purse kits for September's Sew-a-thon and fundraising through September 30th as well. It takes $10 to fill each purse with the needed hygiene items that go into the purses. See the links below.

My personal goal is to sew 80 purses in September and raise $800 in which to fill each purse. Please help me to reach the dollar goal. Thank you so much on behalf of the girls! If they receive a purse filled with the monthly hygiene items, then they can stay in school every month and not miss days.

Sew Powerful Purses #210-218 (2025)

9 scrappy selvage purses! I went crazy making selvage flaps in the Spring and I am still sewing purses with the flaps. I did make a dent in all those selvages I had been saving, so that was good.

These 4 have black floral print bodies.

These have purse bodies using a purple background with pink flowers. All donated to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

Sew Powerful Purses #205-206 (2025)

I had a Twister Pinwheel block I didn't use in a quilt that was leftover, so I put it on the flap and added strips of fabrics around it to make the flap the correct size. I really like how this flap looks with the pinwheel. I might just need to make some more pinwheels on purpose now 😂. Donated to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

Another flap with an appliqué house. I made several of these house flaps already as I had several house blocks made.

Sew Powerful Purse #193 (2025)

Another Happy Scrappy Purse Flappy to lighten the Pile O Scraps a wee bit, a very wee bit.😂 I love sewing scrappy flaps like this. It's addicting and satisfying too. I used all batik fabrics in the flap.

Scrappy pieced flap.

Front pocket. I only had a fat quarter of this exterior fabric, which yielded one purse and more scraps 😜, but hey it's all good as I can use those scraps in other purse flaps or quilts.

Sew Powerful Purse #192 (2025)

This flap is made with all kinds of fabric scraps layered on top of a foundation fabric and then tulle placed over it and quilted. I added some couched yarn and buttons too.

Donated to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

The ultimate scrappy quilted flap.

Closer look 

This fabric was donated to me and I had just enough to make one purse. The print reminds me of beans, like pinto beans or kidney beans, 😂.

Back pocket. I had to piece the pocket, so I added some lace trim over the seams.

Sew Powerful Purse #190 (2025)

I found a few motifs that I had from a fabric and fussy cut them to use for the center of this purse flap and some other flaps that I made too. Here is one of them. 

I used the wiggle stitch to sew it on the fabric and I added a sewing machine button for fun too.

 The colorful strips were donated to me from a friend.

These fabrics were donated to me to use for the purses I make and donate to Sew Powerful Purse Project. It is so kind of people to donate fabric to me for this cause. It's fun to use a new fabric to make a purse (or purses) too.
