Last 12 purses that I made from the September Sew-a-thon.
 |
| The flower on this flap was made by a friend who passed away over 12 years ago. This was a fabric postcard she made. I sewed it to the flap and added the orange trim to make it pop on the painted background that I stenciled. My friend, Gloria, would have loved the idea of sewing these purses for the girls in Zambia as she was a teacher for the deaf and loved being an educator. So Gloria, this is our collaboration together as I know you would have made purses for these girls too. |

| These 2 flaps were made from One Block Wonder quilt blocks. I have a whole bag full of flaps I made from the same fabric. Each one looks different and they are so fun to make! This was a great fabric to use, but I only had one yard, so it wouldn't make a large enough quilt, so I decided to use them for purse flaps instead. If I find another good fabric to use for this technique, I will make more like this as they will all look different. |
these are so creative, i can't believe at the end of this marathon you are still able to be so original. Tara

ReplyDeleteUsing that flower for the flap was ingenious! Your friend would definitely have made purses for this cause. I agree with the first post and I too have been impressed at how creative you are even at the end of the marathon! Love the use of buttons to decorate the flap!
ReplyDeleteThe use of the flower is a lovely tribute to your friend, and the purse is adorable. Love the use of blocks in the flap too! Thank you for sharing and linking up!
