Sew Powerful Purses #15-16 for 2026

Here are a couple of scrappy pieced purse flaps with added flower appliqué. Buttons for the flower centers and extra buttons for bling, plus the flap on the left has some hotfix crystals too. Flower appliqué I upcycled from a rainbow tie dye tank top and die cut the flowers myself. I will miss those rainbow flowers when the tank top is all cut up into flowers. I will have to find a rainbow dyed fabric to die cut more flowers, or just cut other colors.

Sew Powerful Purses #11-12 for 2026

I have been sewing again and getting some purses made for Sew Powerful Purse Project. I had cut out many kits so I could sew them whenever I wanted to sew. I needed to take some time off from sewing after popping something in my ribcage, and while I am not 100% better yet, I am getting close to 100%, so sewing a bit here and there is working well.

These 2 were from a panel of fabrics that was a donation fabric. It is a drapey fabric, and the colors are so pretty and there are many other designs on the panel as well. I used only a few for flaps and the others I used for lining flaps in other purses that I made or will make.

A sweet friend gave me a gift card to Etsy for my birthday last November and one of the items I got was this purple denim fabric. The photo on Etsy showed a very bright purple that was almost Fuchsia colored and I loved it, but what I received was this lighter purple that is more of a lavender shade of purple instead. Since these purses are made to donate, I kept it and used it to make about a dozen or so purses. The girls who receive the purses won't know, right?
