Sparkle Bags!

Bags, Tutorials - Apr. 06, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

My love for boxy bags has gone to a whole new level today. Introducing, sparkly boxy bags!!!

:: applause :: :: cheers :: :: the crowd goes WILD ::

More...

These beauties were such fun to make. Each measures 4 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 inches deep. 

I stuck with my favorite tutorial by Kelby from KelbySews. 

The sparkly vinyl comes from Sara at SewSweetness.  You can purchase some of this awesome glitter vinyl from her shop right here.  Go ahead and get at least one of each color.  I won't judge. 

All of my zippers come from ZipIt. 

To see a tutorial (and use a calculator!) on how to create the two toned bag check out this post!

Taking these babies out for a walk! Say "Hi" to my husband, who always gets suckered in to taking pictures of me with my sewing projects!

    Hello Jess!
    I discovered your YT channel at the begining of February, and I have completely fell ibn love with all your faboulous projects! I ended up buying a sewing machine, Brother CS7000i, and watching your instructions, I have been able to complete 3 projects! Thank you!!
    I do have a question, regarding the materials used in your sparkly boxy bags, which I LOVE!! I am making one for my mom for mother’s day; I have everything but the SF101. It’s either sold out , or extremely expensive, or it will take forever to arrive due to the quarantine. I do have Heat n Bond Light. Will that be a comparable material to use? I am still very confused at all the types of interfacing that are available, so any help you can give me on this one will be greatly appreciated! The bag will be this beautiful cotton fabric with indigo blue roses outlined in gold that I found at JoAnn’s, with Sky Blue faux leather for the bottom.
    Take care, and I look forward to more of your videos!

The Brush Pouch from @missfrecklesdesign is just s The Brush Pouch from @missfrecklesdesign is just so dang refreshing! This is a quick make that is great for quilt cotton and can be used in a number of ways. I’ve seen lots of you excited to use this for knitting and crochet needles! My kids would put their stationary items in it. And I would use this for all my skinny tools that are constantly rolling around my table 🥴. Oh, you can also use it for makeup and paint brushes!

Let me know if you whip one up! It’s a really fun sew-jo booster.

13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . Here’s how 13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . 

Here’s how my first colonoscopy prep went down! If it’s time for you get this checkup, make sure to make that appointment. It’s not a fun 24 hours but can help prevent a whole lot of other problems. 

Colon cancer runs in my family and I’ve seen the impacts it can cause if not caught early. 45 is the recommended age for your first scan, but if you have symptoms and/or a family history, you may want to get this done sooner. I’m 41 and so glad I did this now. My Dr. said he had his first at 37, so there is no shame in staying on top of this sooner than later. 

Take care of your booties!

The Tabitha Dual Wallet from @lets_sewcialize_designs can be a crossbody bag, a wristlet and even functions as wallet! It’s a fun one to make with lots of variation available, and the most original design.

And the duo zippers 🤯 you can have a LOT of fun playing with zipper tape combos there.

Happy Monday!

I recently destashed and reorganized my vinyl supply and I thought I would share my process. Vinyl organization is tricky. The rolls are pretty big (most of mine are 18” wide) and it’s hard to really SEE them all when they’re stacked up. But, work with what you’ve got.

How do you organize your vinyl?
