Can you really have too many slings? No. You cann Can you really have too many slings?

No. You cannot. They are fabulous.

This week we’re making the gorgeous and PERFECTLY sized Trio Bag / Backpack from @kandoucrafts . And as you would expect, it comes together beautifully. 

I love the medium size of this bag, perfect for travel and students. It’s very flattering and sits comfortably with a wide strap. This would be a perfect bag for the guys! Just use those lovely rugged colors and it’s a great work bag. 

We have a limited time coupon code! Use code OKLATRIOS25 for a discount, available until November 30th. 

Enjoy!

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!

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 family 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 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 )
