I made two more bags for Sew Powerful. These were both made from a discarded pair of jeans and used some fun fabrics on the inside lining.

DENIM BAG FINISHED
I got the black web strapping for the denim bag I started last Friday and was able to finish it.
The denim was much more difficult to finish because of the density of the fabrics when everything come together. I even broke a needle. But I got it done. I was thinking I'd make more from old denim, but now I'm reconsidering that!
I had made a simple little flower to sew onto the front flap.
This will also be donated to Sew Powerful.

A SECOND BAG
It was so satisfying to make the bag for Sew Powerful yesterday, I made another today. I used the same type of fabrics, this time in different colorways. The outside is pink and orange and the inside liner was made from a batik fabric with sunflowers in yellow, orange and burgandy. I made a pocket for the outside of the front because the pink plaid had a small discoloration there.

A BAG FOR THE GIRLS
I started making a bag from old denim yesterday for Sew Powerful, who send reusable hygiene products to young girls in Africa. They are asking volunteers to make bags to include with the pads. I didn't have the webbing for the bag's strap, so I set it aside until I could get some.
Today I made another one, this time making the strap from fabric. I used some orange woven plaid fabric for the outside and a blue fabric for the inside.
