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!

We’re making the CUTEST combo purse this week! T We’re making the CUTEST combo purse this week! 

The Tabitha Dual Wallet from @lets_sewcialize_designs can be a crossbody bag, a wristlet and even functions as wallet! It’s a fun one to make with lots of variation available, and the most original design.

And the duo zippers 🤯 you can have a LOT of fun playing with zipper tape combos there.

Full tutorial on the OklaRoots YouTube channel ❤️

Happy Monday!

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 ❤️
