Block Party – Month 3

Block Party - May. 04, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Happy May!! We are keeping it simple this month, but with 21 pieces to this block, it's not as easy as it looks.

More...

This block is made entirely of squares and rectangles, so using the templates isn't necessary (unless you prefer this method).  The PDF pattern with block sizes are listed below, as well as the SVG for your automatic cutting machine (if you choose to use one). 

We're almost a quarter of the way through the block! I can't wait to see what you come up with this month!

    What is the measurement on the center square. Template says 1 inch. Is that correct?

Just trying to eat up my expensive scraps any way Just trying to eat up my expensive scraps any way I can… 🥴

Do you do anything with smalls scraps? I toss most, but for my really special materials (Harris Tweed, Liberty, etc) I’m always trying to find creative ways to use them.

Ok back to bags!
Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Babi Boxy Crossbody (a pattern originally designed for clear vinyl) is finally a success!

I’ll have a full video tutorial AND written instructions available soon ❤️❤️❤️

My masterpiece(s) of 2026! The stunning Andy Backp My masterpiece(s) of 2026! The stunning Andy Backpacks!! 

I’m so stinking proud of these. And I’m still not sure how @uhohcreations was able to write a pattern for this that makes it easy for us to create our own. The math and shapes and intricacies of this, but then the easy way the pattern explains each step. I still don’t know how I ended up sewing this, and I made it TWICE! Pattern magic I tell you!

And sadly, the @bagmakingbeesclub Mega Box which supplied all the materials for each bag is no longer available for order 😭. Be sure to check out all the beautiful nylon materials you can put together to make your own Andy at @wondergroundfabrics 🥰

I feel like a bag warrior after making these 💪💪

This month’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box is for the ADORABLE Zuri Crossbody from @bagstockdesigns 😍😍

This cutie has some really clever pockets that allow it to remain functional and keep that beautiful design. It’s a great quick-ish sew and would be a fun project to make with family or at a retreat.

Enjoy!
