Sew Powerful Purses #295-303 for 2026

These 9 purses I completed during the Sew-a-thon for Sew Powerful Purse Project during this month of September; my goal is 180 purses. As you can see by the title, I have made over 300 purses this year already.

Large flower appliqués with extra large buttons in the center and scrappy piecing on flap. Somehow I accidently swapped the gussets on these, oops! But they still look fine and by the time I realised it, well I wasn't going to rip out half the purse and the girls won't know, so it's a design choice, right?😉

Scrappy pieced with machine decorative stitches and rickrack and yarn couching.

Upcycled denim jeans made into purses. The purse on the left I kept one belt loop in tact. Not sure why? But after I made the purse, I needed to tack the loop down and I found a charm from a charm bracelet my daughter didn't want anymore, so I sewed the charm on the loop and tacked it down. I have a lot of other charms that I will use up in more purses now, maybe on the flap next time.

These were from 16 quilt blocks I made into a double-sided mobile and took apart when I had no place to hang it anymore. I made 16 blocks in all and and working on making 16 purses from the blocks. The pattern is called Bountiful Baskets from P3 Designs. It is a quilt of all 50 state flowers in baskets.

Bountiful Baskets Quilt Blocks

I made 16 (of the 50) Bountiful Baskets applique blocks. I didn't want to make a really large quilt, so I chose the flowers from the five states I have lived in and the other eleven blocks I chose to make because I liked the flowers. I am not sure how I will put them together yet. I enjoyed making them.
