Sew Powerful Purses #289 -294 for 2026

These are 6 of the purses I made so far in September for the annual Sew-a-thon and fundraiser for Sew Powerful. My goal is to make 180 purses this month.

This is a Sue Spargo appliqué die cut I used on this flap. Sue Spargo is one of the Sew-a-thon sponsors this year for the Sew Powerful fundraiser. If I am lucky, I could win something from Sue if my name is chosen as a winner. I made the purse with upcycled denim jeans. The flap is made from scraps of denim first, that I placed tulle on top and then quilted it. I added the bird over that and stitched it in place.

I had made these flowers in baskets years ago and made them into a double-sided mobile. But I had no place to hang the mobile anymore, so I took the blocks apart and made them all into purse flaps, so you will be seeing the other flowers in baskets as I finish them into purses.

More of the African countries postage stamps panels I made into flaps, including the Kenya one down below.
