Does the color of your sewing tools make any diffe Does the color of your sewing tools make any difference in terms of functionality?
No.
Does it make the creative process more magical?
For some of us it does!

Just had to share this beautiful “the other stuff” shot from tomorrow’s tutorial 💕.

It was one EPIC trip! I’m so grateful the famil It was one EPIC trip!

I’m so grateful the family and I had the opportunity to get away for a couple days and have some fun down at @universalorlando . We rode our favorites rides, experienced a water park in the dark of night, and spent some time at the newest park. 

If you have the chance to get to any of the 4 Universal parks in Orlando, definitely take advantage of it! 

(And yes, my kids are best friends. I’m a lucky Mama ❤️)

It’s that time of year where I’m constantly ma It’s that time of year where I’m constantly making last minute items to fit my mood. With less than 10 days until Halloween I decided I NEEDED an adorable coffee cardigan for school pickup. The coffee tags from this week’s Fresh Tag Friday from @heartwoodandhide_co are the perfect addition! 

Hope you’re enjoying some holiday sewing!

(Full tutorial for the coffee sleeve is available on the Jess OklaRoots YouTube channel. Templates available in @shopoklaroots )

This week we’re walking through the incredibly useful Zip It Up 2.0 from @patternsbyannie which is also part of their #sewpink blog hop! This zipper case is fun to make, comes in two sizes, can be used for ANYTHING and looks so professional. 

Enjoy the video and make sure to take a look at the blog hop, one creative feature every day this October 🥰

This is the moment I received my first book advance. Still can’t believe I have the opportunity to do this. 

Thank you so much for sharing the excitement with me! I can’t wait to get pages in your hands 🥰

Today’s bag was SUCH a fun one to make! The Compass Bag from @noodlehead531 is so unique in how it comes together. I’ll be honest, I originally didn’t plan to do those cargo pockets 🤫 I thought they might be too challenging, but at the last minute I gave it a go and I’m so glad I did! They look incredibly chic on this shape in that color!

All the material for this came from October’s @bagmakingbeesclub box 💜 This was a really popular one and is sadly sold out, but @wondergroundfabrics has lots of beautiful material options, I bet you could talk Gabbi into putting together some kits

Thank you so much for the love on the video! Let me know if you switch it up, I would love to see your version.
