2025 ByAnnie SewPINK Blog Hop – Making The Zip It Up 2.0

Bags, Tutorials - Oct. 19, 2025 - Jess

It's that time again.... Let's raise awareness for breast cancer research with the #SewPink Initiative!

I'm once again joining in on the ByAnnie Blog Hop and making a beautiful bag to help bring awareness to the prevalence of breast cancer among both women and men. 

The #SewPink Initiative's mission is to raise awareness for cancer throughout the year.

Efforts culminate in an annual blog hop during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote self-care, awareness, early detection and support for those affected by breast cancer.

To learn more and see the calendar of events visit: https://www.ByAnnie.com/SewPINK

Check out the amazing group of sewists who are also a part of this blog hop!

    Thanks, Jess, for being part of our annual SewPINK Initiative. It is always such fun to see what you make — and how you take it to the next level! Love those Zip It Up 2.0 bags. I love seeing them made with bonded nylon. Thanks for sharing all the tips!. They are so so so fun and perfect for gifts.

Happy Father’s Day to our most favorite person in Happy Father’s Day to our most favorite person in the whole world 😘 You take care of all of us (and Babi) all day every day without hesitation or complaint. We’re so very very lucky to have you! We love you so much Derek!

The last of the cotton woven destash and it’s all The last of the cotton woven destash and it’s all CUSTOM FABRIC GROUPS 😱 Some of these prints are impossible to find anymore. And as much as I really love all of them, I just don’t use them enough. Time to stop hoarding and pass them along to someone else who will actually make something. 

These bundles (we call them the Cotton Woven Mystery Scrap Pack on @shopoklaroots ) will be added to Shop OklaRoots dot com today! Each bundle is completely random, but we did make sure to give a good distribution of themes. 

Enjoy!

We still need have a third bookcase full of custom group fabrics, and then we’ll move on to the Babi Boxes (which include an assortment of vinyl, nylon, waterproof canvas… who knows what!)

I hope you enjoy the destash!

The Globetrot Travel Sling from @chriswdesigns is PERFECT for keeping your items close and easily accessible without any bulk. In today’s tutorial I’m walking you through the unique way this beautiful bag comes together. I could make this over and over ❤️.

Enjoy!

Time to destash 😭😭 It hurts to do, but it needs to happen. I’m hoping all the beauties I let go of find new loving homes ❤️.

This is just one cabinet! I’ll tackle the other two later this week. 

Boxes will be listed on the site Monday at whatever-time-Babi-decides 🤣 
Patreon - she’ll post in the Facebook group when they’re ready 💪
