Patchouli Moon Studio~ Sew Powerful Purse #108 (2025)

Scrappy flap with upcycled denim jeans for the purse body. Donating this to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

I love using up scraps to create the purse flap. I also wanted to use up some small squares that I cut from yardage that had sweet prints like this basket of flowers. Other squares on the same fabric yardage are a few different hearts, gift wrapped presents, various single flowers, coffee pot with cup and saucer, plates of sweet desserts like a slice of cake and a cupcake. They all have the colors like this basket of flowers with orange, pink, white and a touch of purple in some. I was able to make quite a lot of purse flaps using those square prints along with fabric scraps or selvages. I used up most of my bag of selvages just making those flaps! Yay!

Upcycling denim jeans is a great way to use up jeans that were given to me by hubby and daughter. I have some jeans of my own that I will upcycle one day too, but I wanted to use up the ones I have been given first.
