I feel like this bag is going to be a good conversation starter on my next Disney trip 🤔.

This awesome Tremont Crossbody pattern from @hold_it_right_there is such a fun make! Perfect everyday crossbody with BUILT IN CARD SLOTS (I know some of you really enjoy that feature). I think this may become my go-to park bag.
•
Now I need to make one for Universal trips, and then 2 for my mom. Oy!
•
Let me know if you’re working on a Tremont! I can’t wait to see all the fabric combos with this pattern!

What are your weekend sewing plans? A bag? Maybe some relaxing cross stitching under a cozy blanket? Taking some time away from the projects?
•
When I get a project idea, I tend to obsess over it until it either works out, or completely busts. This is the weekend I’ll meet one of those two options 😵‍💫.
•
Luckily, I’m working with this fantastic webbing from @tulapink , so even if my original plan doesn’t come to fruition, I’ll have plenty of other fun projects to make with them.
•
Have a great weekend friends. Give an extra hug to all your loved ones. 🥰

Oooooo this beauty is BIG and BEAUTIFUL and BEGINNER FRIENDLY! My favorite B’s 😉.

The Muerqo Tote (seriously, make sure you say that with a little extra flavor, it’s very fun) from @country_cow_designs comes together so nicely and is one of those bags you’ll love to make and love to use. And those O-rings make it look O-so-fancy 😂.
•
Have you made one yet? Let me know the material and machine you’re using! Domestic machines may sometimes be small, but they’re mighty too!

The MOST magical grocery totes will be hitting ShopOklaRoots this Friday at 7pm EST!

How many of you found OklaRoots through the reusable grocery tote video? That is still the most popular video on the channel, and STILL one of our favorite and most used bags in our home. Great for groceries, markets, the beach, shopping, slumber parties… you name it!
•
I gave Babi OklaRoots free reign on these bags, and she came up with some really fun combinations! She made sure to include something for everything, and I cannot wait to show you the rest.

Today’s video is all about interfacing! What I use, when I use it, how I fuse it… everything I ::think:: know about it!
•
I’ve already received some incredible suggestions on different ways to fuse and layer interfacing, so I’ll do my best to gather those and try them out. With so many options out there, we’re really in a fantastic position as bag makers. We can make silky cotton feel like vinyl, we can make lightweight material behave like paper and vinyl can become virtually indestructible. Interfacing and stabilizers are a big part of what makes our bags look SO professional!
•
So what’s your favorite “behind the seams” material to work with? What gives you trouble? Any tips you want to share??
•
Swipe to see how I usually feel when deciding what to use 😂😂.

I ran a freaking marathon! What?! And I finished with a margarita!
•
Just thinking about today makes me tear up. I was crying often on the course (thankfully not from pain). I just couldn’t believe I was actually doing this.
•
The training, the planning, the middle of the night freak out. All worth it. And I’m so so happy that many of you were part of this journey with me. Thank you SO incredibly much for all the kind messages! I’m going through them and feeling like I have a million hugs.
•
We can do hard things. I mean, the hardest. Seriously. Ever since I was in middle school and couldn’t run a full mile in PE (humiliating, I hope they don’t still do this) I just knew running events weren’t an option for me. Then I found @rundisney . Then I found @jeffgallowayolympian . And holy guacamole, the 6th grade girl who cried while the whole class waited for her to finish a mile ran a dang marathon at 36.
•
(And yes, my legs and feet hurt a ton tonight 😂. I’ll be glad to take a break from bananas, Powerade, and any sort of energy chew. But I’ll be out for my regular 3.5 mile run this Tuesday!)

Eeeee it’s just a few days until the @rundisney

Eeeee it’s just a few days until the @rundisney marathon !! I’m a ball of nerves for sure, so chatting through packing was really helpful. I know this is long, but these are the things I wish I knew when I first started thinking about training for a marathon.
•
Big tips:
- I’m running use the @jeffgallowayolympian walk/run/walk method. I’m no athlete, but this program made it possible for me to get this far, and I bet it will be what gets my through 26.2
- comfort is key. Especially in this heat. Lightweight clothes, no pressure.
- hyyyyydrraaaaattteeee! Omg, the heat coming up was not what I was hoping for. I’m doing everything I can to prepare. Lots of water and electrolytes.
- the goal: finish. Not fast. Not perfectly. Probably while holding a margarita. But cross that finish line.

First tutorial of 2022: The Beachcomber Pouch by @needle.and.anchor.patterns 🥰.
•
It’s such a cute bag that’s scrap friendly! It’s also a FANTASTIC pouch to practice curves on. I’m using vinyl, waxed canvas and waterproof canvas, so no interfacing! (I love interfacing, just hate the extra steps of cutting and fusing.)
•
Are you starting off 2022 with a specific bag in mind??
•
This tutorial will be available Monday, January 3rd at 11am EST 🤩. The beautiful vinyl is from @sewingwithlauren and I just realized (thanks to all those that messaged me) that it changes color in sunlight!! Whhhhaaaaa?!
