Block Party – Month 8

Block Party - Oct. 05, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Happy October!! If you're in the Northern Hemisphere you may be experience that lovely chill in the air, with that magical "fall smell". For those of you in the Southern Hemisphere, I'm sure the warm afternoons are a welcome change. This month's block is a really fun one.... and might be my favorite of the entire party... we'll see!

More...

So this month I'm giving you the option to make your own mini quilt out of mini blocks. You can see this block is made up of 4 parts (quadrants). In an effort to simplify the design (because I know many of us just need something quick these days) I am providing you with 5 quadrant patterns. Take a look at the video, download the PDF and let me know what you make!

    Hi Jess,
    Love your quilt blocks! I was wondering if you ever thought of doing a quilt block specific to each month? For example-Hearts for February, Shamrocks for March, Tulips for May, etc. These would be cute for a pillow and the covers could be changed each month! Great to make for Christmas or birthday presents or even a house warming or shower gift! Thank you-Jane

I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED TO MAKE THIS BAG!! The momen I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED TO MAKE THIS BAG!!

The moment I saw @lindshandmade debut the Rayna Sling I added it to my list. And at that same moment, Gabbi at @wondergroundfabrics said this needed to be a Bee Box for @bagmakingbeesclub 

And the time has finally arrived! I love how discretely festive this little cutie is. It would work fantastic at a holiday party but also chic with jeans and a t-shirt. 

I know many of you have already made this, so tell me you share my love for this sweet bag!

Happy Monday!

According to my teenage daughter, this is the pret According to my teenage daughter, this is the prettiest bag I’ve ever made 🥹😍

It’s definitely STUNNING and in my opinion, a great one for beginner bag makers. 

The Ava Shoulder Bag from @bagstockdesigns is enjoyable to make and turns out looking impeccable. The zipper on top is so smart, the curves are easy to sew, and the overall shape is so flattering. This is a fantastic “gift to me from me” bag, and an even better one to give to a loved one.

And the materials this month are PERFECTION! This kit is the November / December @bagmakingbeesclub Babe Box and it is outstanding. The diversity of the material and gorgeous hardware make this box one of the best I’ve seen yet. 

Have fun and Happy December!!

I've tried SO MANY planners throughout the years. I've tried SO MANY planners throughout the years. At one point, I even had 3 planners I was using every day 😱 

After testing them out year after year, I feel like I've finally found the perfect one that works for all my pieces of life: work, family, and daily tasks. 

@plumpaper has so many options and layouts, and is great for someone who wants choices but doesn't want to start from scratch.

Here's a walkthrough of my planner for 2026, and how I designed it ❤️💪

As a certified waist bag/ hip bag / fanny pack con As a certified waist bag/ hip bag / fanny pack connoisseur, I give this one 10⭐️!

The Kaede Hip Bag from @country_cow_designs is a FANTASTIC waist bag design, especially for those of us sewing on a domestic machine. It has the perfect amount of pockets, a great shape that’s easy to make, and comes out the perfect size.

Have fun with this one!

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!
