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?

This week’s tutorial has me feeling SO out of the This week’s tutorial has me feeling SO out of the bag loop 🫣

Apparently there is a whole lot of love for pouches with a large double zip opening… and this is the first time I’ve seen one! 

The Aneira from @the.styled.magnolia is a BEAUTIFUL pattern that comes together in the coolest way. I promise you haven’t constructed a bag this way before, it’s SO smart. This is a great quick-ish sew, doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. But you’re definitely going to learn something new about curved gussets 🤗.

I hope you enjoy it! Have a great week friends ❤️

This week’s tutorial is going over the oh-so-adora This week’s tutorial is going over the oh-so-adorable Aurora Sling from @the.styled.magnolia !

This little cutie is a FUN bag to make! Super unique and handy gusset method, scrappy, and quick. This is a great make for those spring break and summer trips!

Quick question: for your every day bag, do you prefer to make it with vinyl (faux leather), nylon, or quilt cotton?? Let me know!

Ok friends, be kind while I figure out this voice Ok friends, be kind while I figure out this voice over and text technique ❤️. 

Here is a quick tutorial on how to use the Hidden D-Ring template available in @shopoklaroots . This is a great technique to add a D-Ring to a bag where you don’t have a seam or an easier option.

For example, the Wish Tote has the strap anchor webbing stitched across the front and back panels. But if you want to modify the exterior with a large zipper or you have a featured design you don’t want covered, the Hidden D-Ring is a great option!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Did you catch my big mistake in today’s tutorial? Did you catch my big mistake in today’s tutorial? 🤦‍♀️ I still can’t believe I did that, so embarrassing! But it happens to all of us at some point.

This month’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee box is GORGEOUS! The calming bonded nylon and easy to work with waterproof canvas was the perfect combo for a relaxing make. And the Mountain Saddle Bag pattern from @emmalinebags is, of course, absolutely perfect. 

This pattern comes in two sizes and I’m featuring the Mini size. It’s a perfect every day bag and can be mixed and matched in so many ways. Make sure to check the tutorial for tips on piecing the gusset and adaptions for a removable strap 👍

Happy Monday everyone!

A quick project to play with your quilt cotton scr A quick project to play with your quilt cotton scraps! You can use this method on ANY appliqué design. Just grab some decovil light remnants, pretty material, a fun design and stitch it on to your bag! Easy peasy 😊

Designs used are the following:
- Small Magic Maker Appliqué stitched on the Mini Wish Tote. Both available in @shopoklaroots

It’s happening… I’m entering my QUILTING ERA PART It’s happening… I’m entering my QUILTING ERA PART 2! Or maybe it’s part 3….

But we’re getting back to quilting, baby! Woo! 

This has been a topic of conversation in my DMs for over a year now, and I miss quilting with you all so much. We’re tip toeing back into it, so I’m trying some new-to-me techniques before we dive into the next quilt along. 

I’ve tried Foundation Paper Piecing a couple times, and completely failed at it. I don’t know why I just couldn’t wrap my head around this method. I’m still by no means an expert, but I made this adorable Hopeful Rabbit quilt block from Snuggle Puzzle Quilt Co and it actually turned out! This is so exciting!

Follow along in this week’s YouTube tutorial to see how it came together. And yes… I’m totally hooked. There will be more FPP to come!
