Block Party – Month 4

Block Party - Jun. 01, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Happy June everyone!! I've been chatting with many of you about the weather lately, and I sincerely hope wherever you are you're getting some sunshine and warm days! It really has never felt better to enjoy the fresh air!

More...

This is a great month to play around with your piecing style! Do you prefer to stick with the templates and the fabric layout of the pattern? Do you prefer to go rogue, throwing the fabric together to see what happens? Have you tried both ways? If not, this is the month to do it!

I'm showing you 2 different ways to piece these blocks. One, using the templates provided in the PDF. Just trace them, cut them, and piece them. Badda-bing badda-boom. The other method requires NO PRINTING. Instead, cut out the rectangles according to the chart in the PDF, sew them together by matching midpoints, and then trim that mess down to a pretty square. 

I'm also showing you how to use the 10.5" printable template, which you can find here.

Lots to play with this month! I cannot wait to see what you make. 

Happy Sewing!

I recently destashed and reorganized my vinyl supply and I thought I would share my process. Vinyl organization is tricky. The rolls are pretty big (most of mine are 18” wide) and it’s hard to really SEE them all when they’re stacked up. But, work with what you’ve got.

How do you organize your vinyl?

The Last Minute Leslie from @joleeleecreations is The Last Minute Leslie from @joleeleecreations is this week’s featured pattern, and it is TRULY the perfect last minute make!

This adorable purse comes together in a matter of minutes and can be modified in any way you need. Keep it neutral and chic, make it funky and bright, add some heavy stabilizer to keep it super structured, or skip the stabilizer and keep it loose. So many options, and it’s all QUICK!

This is also the @bagmakingbeesclub Babe Box for March/April, and yes, that amazing bag chain is included 😱

Have you tried this one yet?? I hope you do!

I know I’m quilt cotton averse when it comes to accessories, but I’m slowly coming around. I especially like using this material when we can piece it!

For anyone interested in this unique technique, I just released a super simple and quick pattern walking you step-by-step in the process to make a curved flying geese. And of course I included a free video, available on the OklaRoots YouTube channel 🤗

Have a great weekend! Make it a relaxing one ❤️

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 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!
