OklaRoots
Dream. Motivate. Create.
This was a catch up week in the OklaRoots home. We started October with a nice and easy quilt block, for month number 9 of the Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt. And ended the week with a surprise get together that I'll never forget.
Such an incredible go-to tote bag! The Wool and Wax from Noodlehead is great for beginners and the perfect pattern to get you sew-jo back. I personally love it to test out new vinyl and fabric combinations!
The sweet folks over at Kimberbell were so kind to send me their current Bella Box, and I couldn't be more excited about all the goodies inside. They packed this box full of so much happiness!
This month I have the opportunity to team up with some of the most amazing content creators and artists to help raise money for breast cancer research! ByAnnie is hosting their fabulous #sewPink initiative once again! So get ready for tons of crafty ideas and ways to support our community. To check out the schedule click here (spoiler: October 14th will be an OklaRoots tutorial going over a ByAnnie pattern... eeek!).
Take care of those ta-tas my friends!!
A seriously fun adaptation to the simple snack bag, let's add a decorative snap tab!
Want to make the uber popular dog waste bag, but your embroidery machine can only use a 4x4 hoop? No problem! Let's go over the hack!
One of the COOLEST wallets I've seen out there, this skull wallet is quick and easy. A great project to get comfortable with vinyl!
In case you missed it: Last week we had a Basics video added to the list, all about key fobs! These cuties are quick and easy, and with the right tools they'll last for ages!
This week we made the ULTIMATE scrap buster! These adorable quick ID holders can be made entirely from scraps and are useful for 99% of the people who you know. Make is a wristlet, a landyard, or click it to your purse. The Carly from Sallie Tomato is a sewing must have!
Probably the most popular design of wallet to buy, we tried our hand at the small zip around wallet. This adorable pattern from Miss Freckles Designs comes out looking SO professional! Just take your time around those curves.
Mask chains are a daily accessory in our house! Whether it's school, the grocery store or traveling to local theme parks, it's so much easier to have our masks hanging close by than stuffed in someone's pocket.
This week we put together some of the coolest hacks you've come up with for the fan-favorite Purse Pal from Linds Handmade! You can get so creative with these, and I love hearing other alts you come up with!
We've hit the first Friday of the month, which means it's time for another month of the Cotton Cuts Spring 2021 Sparkle and Shine Mystery Quilt! We've only got 3 months to go, and I cannot wait to see this quilt!
A great way to test out sewing curves and binding (and actually learn to love them) the Luna Pouch from Kandou Crafts is a pattern must have!
After many requests, I purchased the most popular beginner embroidery machine. This Brother PE 800 can do so many projects, and will continue to be a craft room staple if you upgrade to a bigger machine.
Our Monday bag tutorial was for the ADORABLE and free Acacia Crossbody Bag, the perfect small accessory.
For our embroidery tutorial we went step by step through my puffy hat process!
