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!

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

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!!

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!

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.

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.

This week’s tutorial is so fun! The quick and fun This week’s tutorial is so fun! The quick and fun Crystalline Pencil Pouch from @the.styled.magnolia is a big time sew-jo booster 😍 

Have you made a binder pouch like this? What would you use it for?? Obviously, I have a few ideas.

Full tutorial is available on the OklaRoots YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Yes, this zip pouch is adorable. Yes, you can get Yes, this zip pouch is adorable.
Yes, you can get really creative with materials and appliqué.
Yes, it’s super scrap friendly.
Yes, it’s beginner friendly.
Yes, it’s ridiculously fun to make.

But if those reason aren’t enough for you to try the Real Lip Shady from @kazconadesigns then let me give you one more: It is an incredible, confidence boosting skill builder. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shied away from patterns that have that back and forth curvy zipper, for fear of it not turning out ::just:: right.

But this pattern? Easy peasy! The measurements are perfect, the tips are spot on, and the curvy wurvy zipper is glorious. 

10/10! You gotta make this.

These week we’re going up against my bag making ne These week we’re going up against my bag making nemesis: piping. And we’re nailing it! Mostly 😉

Today’s tutorial is going over the Traverse Bag from @noodlehead531 ! This bag is so much fun. It has the look of a messenger bag but the ease of a simple zip pouch. The functionality is spot on and it comes in two sizes! 

This is also September’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box! The waxed canvas we’re using is stunning 😍. And although I usually reach for a webbing strap, that handmade strap is well worth the extra few minutes. 

Enjoy and happy Monday!
