Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all. 🍀🍀🍀I don't have any Irish blood, although when I first had my DNA tested, I did have a wee bit of Irish, but that keeps changing as new information is shared. Now it seems I have a wee bit of Scottish blood instead, like 1%.
Here are the last 4 purses I made to donate to
Sew Powerful. On the Facebook Group we are given monthly challenges for fun and this month was flowers. I made flower flaps and paired them with green fabric purse bodies. The solid green was an upcycle from a Starbuck's apron from my daughter. I have other purses that I started making from aprons too and need to finish those so I can share them with you soon.

| The flap on the left I used crayons to color the basket and flowers, stems and leaves and then added some hand embroidery and crystals on. The background was too stark white, so I got out my acrylic marking pens and colored the background with dots to it's less white and won't show the dirt quite as easily now. Glad that finally got used in something. The selvage flap has an appliqué flower with double stacked buttons. |

| A fun green print for teenage girls. |
 |
| Back side with pockets. |
 |
| These two flaps were made by upcycling a rainbow dyed knit tank top and cutting 1/4 of Hawaiian flowers that I appliquéd to the flaps. The white backgrounds I used either paint sticks or markers. A few embroidered flowers and flower buttons I sewed on too. |
 |
| The same green print on the left purse and the upcycled green Starbucks apron on the right. |
 |
| Back with pockets. The green Starbucks apron has 2 front apron pockets, so I was able to use one apron pocket on the back here. |
