Sew Powerful Purses #247-250 (for 2025)

I made these purses before the Sew Powerful Sew-a-thon began (made in August). I sewed denim scraps first and then added couched yarn in various ways. Some added buttons last. It was fun to use up yarn scraps and try different couching designs. I used all kinds of yarn in varying thicknesses. Eyelash yarn, fuzzy yarn, smooth yarn, ladder yarn, chenille yarn and more.

I need to take photos of the purses that I have completed so far during the Sew-a-thon (which started on the 1st for the sewing purses part). My sewing progress so far is this: Day 1~ I spent sewing the main lining fabrics together and any pocket linings for a sack full of purse kits. Day 2 I completed 8 purses. Day 3 I completed 11 purses, for a total of 19 purses so far. My sewing goal for this month is 80 purses.

Upcycled denim jeans were used for the purse bodies as well.

Please help to fill the purses with the hygiene items that they need by making a donation. Every dollar counts and adds up. I enrolled in the Sew Powerful Sew-A-Thon (sewing part is September 2025) to raise funds so schoolgirls in Zambia Africa can have the feminine hygiene supplies they need to attend school all month. I make purses to hold the supplies as a special gift for a girl living in poverty. Together we can help keep girls in school! You can donate on my behalf here. Thank you so very much!
