That’s one happy bag lady ❤️ This week’s tutorial

That’s one happy bag lady ❤️

This week’s tutorial is going over the incredibly useful Traveler’s Trifecta from @sewfisticatedsg . This pattern comes in three sizes, each perfect for travel and organization.

As we get into the holidays it’s time to think about bags that work as great gifts for anyone, and this one hits the nail on the head. Mom? Perfect. Dad? He’ll love it. Yourself? Well, obviously, 100% (use the really good material 😉).

This is also the @bagmakingbeesclub kit for November, and you have everything you need to make TWO BAGS 😱 I know… happy holidays!

Have a great week!

Hexagon EPP (English Paper Piecing) templates comi

Hexagon EPP (English Paper Piecing) templates coming soon to @shopoklaroots ! There will be 3 sets available, each set has 4 templates to assist you in making 1/2”, 1”, 1 1/2” and 2” EPP hexagons.

The three sets are for 1/4” seam allowance, 3/8” seam allowance, and stabilizer (insert) cuts.

I’m reading for some hand sewing, appliqué, and couch crafting 💪❤️.

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 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 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 )
