Sew Powerful Purses #188-189 (2025)

2 Scrappy purse flaps with a Debbie Mumm print in the center. I must have had this Debbie Mumm print for 20 years or probably more? The print had all kinds of little things on it like a variety of girls, and sunflowers, schoolhouses, watermelon and more. So I just fused some fusible web onto the back side and fussy cut out all the various motifs and started using them for the centers of both scrappy fabric purse flaps as well as scrappy selvage flaps and sewed all around the motifs. There were quite a lot of flaps I made from the Debbie Mumm print, so you will (and already have) seen some of them, but there are more to come. So glad I used that print up in making these purses to donate to the girls in Zambia so they can stay in school all year. Such a great feeling to give them purses and to use up fabric I have had a long time or quilt blocks I never used before making them into purse flaps as well. This is such a great project for using all the scraps leftover from making the purse bodies and adding them various flaps also. 

Donating to Sew Powerful Purse Project.

I started these by cutting the purple fabric with stars and setting it on point and fusing the Debbie Mumm prints and stitching them in place and then sewing scraps of fabrics all around. 

The exterior fabric and the lining fabric were donated to me. 

Back added pockets.
