Stash Additions

I've had this Cricut Explore 3 in its' box for an embarrassing amount of time, so I figured we could open it up and see how it can help us in bag making!

Who doesn't love a free pattern? And a QUICK one?! I've got you covered. You're going to love this project. 

I'm LOVING these 8-bit feeling sweater prints from Fabric Mail! 

I was searching for a washi tape holder, and came across this great device from Galen Leather! They have so many unique options.

The cutest holder for all the things! This Sent With Love make from Sewn Ideas is an addictive project. You make it for one thing (a baby shower, holiday cards, a wedding) and then you think of SO MANY MORE occasions it can be used! I've already spoken to many of you who said you're gifting these to everyone in the family, and I LOVE seeing your version!

Congrats Valerie and Görel!

Congrats Kait!

One of the coolest bags I've ever made, the Retro Sling Backpack from Kandou Patterns is a must make!

I feel so lucky that I was able to unbox and play with the latest Bella Box from Kimberbell! These boxes sold out so fast, so make sure to keep an eye out for the next one!

One of the most popular bags in the sewing community, the Lola by Swoon has been on my list for ages. Don't let those curves fool you, this bag is not a challenging one! You can do it!

Oooo I do love a wallet! This Curvalicious zip wallet from Spencer Ogg is a great one for any confident beginner! The curves are not that tight, and it just comes together so smoothly. 

I had NO IDEA you could make lace using an embroidery machine! And not just lace, free standing lace. So now we can build structures! Such a fun activity for the family!

These hoodies from MoreMeKnow are SOOOOO comfy and sew cute!

Can you have too much zipper tape? Nope! Lauren Mormino has some of the highest quality zipper tapes and amazing colors!

Fun HAPA fabric came in this week! I'm loving all of the rainbow backgrounds on these prints. 

This week's bag video is not only ADORABLE and the first time we've showcased a ByAnnie Pattern... it's also for a great cause! Ad revenue for this video for the month of October will be donated to breast cancer research! Check out this post to learn more.

I have a feeling many of you have an embroidery machine on your wish list this year.... and here's another project for you to plan for! This amazing notepad holders from Crashing Waves come together quickly and are the BEST last minute gifts!

This might be my new favorite go-to quick gift project! You don't need much material, and it turns out fantastic! Check out this clear zip copy cat pouch, with free templates!

My first ever sewing expo was SO much fun! Even though my time there was short, it was a beautiful trip to meet some of the most creative individuals in our crafty community.
