Block Party – Month 10

Block Party - Dec. 07, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

I cannot believe we're about to leave 2020. I become so nostalgic this time of year, looking back on all that's changed. Honestly my head kind of spins when I see everything we've experienced over the last 12 months! But if I could only say one thing about what I've learned this year, it would be that strangers can become family in the blink of an eye. I've never felt so close to so many, while being so far away.

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!

Block Party – Month 5

Block Party - Jul. 06, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Happy July quilty friends! I can't believe we're already to month 5 of our Block Party! I've had such a fun time making these and seeing your versions. This month we're working on - wait for it - partial seams! To be honest, partial seams get a bad rap. They are much easier than they seem and help you create all kinds of beautiful block designs. So give it a shot and let me know what you think!

I have been TERRIBLE at announcing new items in @s I have been TERRIBLE at announcing new items in @shopoklaroots , so here is my quick notification!

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!
