Sew Powerful Purse #144 (2025)

I have made a lot of flaps using tiny bits of fabric scraps and other scraps, covered in tulle and quilted the flaps. I wanted to do the same thing for this flap, only I wanted to try denim scraps only (with a few scraps of organza on top for a bit of shimmer). It worked very nicely quilting the denim this way as there were no thick seams to worry about and adding the lining later it was much nicer too without thick seams to topstitch. I quilted it all and then I couched some yarn on top and added buttons too. The tulle I used had some glitter on it too. I tried to remove as much glitter as possible from the outside so it didn't get all over everything. 

Quilted and added couched yarns and added buttons.

This was a fabric that was given to me by a quilter I know. I love the tie dye look!

Back slip pocket.

I made several purses using this tie dye look lightweight canvas material and scrappy flaps. I will be sharing the rest of them soon. 

Donating this and a whole box of other purses I made to Sew Powerful Purse Project. I just packed up a box of 95 purses this morning. Yippee!!! 

Got to go clean and oil my machines next and then start sewing some more kits I just cut up ready to sew. It sure feels good to send a box of purses off to help some girls in Zambia and South Africa too. I used up a lot of fabric, but still no visible dent in my fabrics, except for the selvages that I used making a ton of flaps recently and the denim jeans I used for several purse bodies too. Now I need to make more denim scrappy flaps like this one to shrink the denim scraps bag down.
