Block Party – Month 6

Block Party - Aug. 03, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

You've made it to August! Question: Do you consider August part of Fall or Summer? I know I know, it's technically a summer month. But, you can feel the anticipation of fall, right? Pumpkin spice will start showing up this month. Fall decor will start coming out. So..... I say forget seasons. Let's get our fall on!

Ok, now that I've made a few of you quite perturbed, let's talk about the block this month! I didn't realize when designing these blocks that I seem to prefer that central cross design. This month we're changing it up a bit with some teeny tiny triangles. The finished look is SO pretty, but all those seams and tiny pieces can be a challenge. So, as always, you are free to modify this block. In the video I'm showing you how to do that, how to build this block without templates, and how to prep your sashing and boarders. 

I hope your summer is ending on a high note! I know it's been a nutty year. But remember, the best season is coming. Fall will be amazing!

    Yay! I’ve been waiting for the new block!

    August is my birthday month and it is most definitely part of SUMMER. I used to be a summer hater, loving the cold. However, as I have gotten older I find that heat is more my cup of tea.

I’ve seen this great hack ALL over the place onlin I’ve seen this great hack ALL over the place online. And as a bag charm lover, I fully recommend adding small d-rings to bags. Just be sure to add it to the right place to avoid a future rip ❤️.

We’ll try to do a live on YouTube later this week 🤞

We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our summer UK trip!

Started at Misan (@misanretail ) in London, which had some of the most gorgeous apparel fabric! They had all things pretty, sparkly and unique. They also had a great selection of tweeds and leathers (which I stocked up on).

Next we visited Borovick Fabrics (@borovickfabricslondon ) and snagged even more material! Make sure to explore the entire space for some really stunning and original fabrics. 

Of course we had to stop by MacCulloch and Wallis (@maccullochw ) and check out all the haberdashery! They had plenty of material and sewing tools, but also tons of yarn and other craft supplies. Mila did quite a bit of shopping here.

Then we ventured to Edinburgh Castle (@edinburghcastle ) and actually found a large assortment of tweed materials in a gift shop! I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing anything. 

We wrapped up our fabric shop tour at Edinburgh Fabrics (@edinburghfabrics ) which not only offered all the materials you would come to expect, but they also had a huge selection of tweed AND Liberty of London lawns! The dream!!

Can’t wait to go back and find even more stores!

Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work on some diagonal cuts now.

Those triangle bits used to be such a struggle for me. Knowing how to line it up so it completely covers the area can be challenging. My method is to draw the diagonal line on the fabric, just as I want the stitches to be in the end. Then flip it upside down and line it up with the stitch line on the paper. And bam! Perfect fit with less waste 💪❤️.

I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t n I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t need in life. But as a bag maker, I would say the AnnaBelle Shoulder Bag pattern from @siahswagbags is a Bag Making 101 essential. The shape is gorgeous, you can have lots of fun with modifications, and the look of this bag can be SO different depending on the material. The structure is fantastic (LOVE the foam sandwich method) and overall it’s a fun way to spend time sewing. 10/10 no notes!

Enjoy!
This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way! This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way!

The Ellie Card Case from @missfrecklesdesign is a beautiful accessory that has four card slots and a center pocket. This is a great project for quilt cotton! And there is NO HARDWARE 🙏

Check out Miss Freckles on Instagram to see her reel walking you through the process, or go visit the OklaRoots YouTube Channel for a yappy tutorial. 

Have a great week friends ❤️
