Anyone else have a sewing supervisor? • This lit

Anyone else have a sewing supervisor? • This little girl, Lila, is always in my sewing room. She pulls all the scraps out of bins and trash cans, makes sure I can find my thread, signs off on the squisheyness of my foam and generally makes sure I’m staying on task. Her brother helps as well, but he’s still in training 😂 • #oklarootstuts

To be honest, there are many things that make me happy. But @backstitch_fabrics just really hits that special, nostalgic spot. • I’m so excited to share the Beauty Makeup Bag Tutorial from Sewn Ideas with you on Monday! Don’t forget to use code jess25 for a discount when ordering the pattern! • I’ve made 2 versions of this bag so far: a makeup bag and a child craft bag. What else would you use this for? I want one in every room! This would be a great gift for an office as well 🥰. • #oklarootstuts #oklaroots

Today in stories we are talking binding seams in bags. Have you tried this before? What do you think? • To be honest, I wasn’t a fan previously. But it’s growing on me as I work on a pattern that requires it. • This idea got me curious, so I dug out some of my store bough bags, and sure enough they have binding on the seams. Vera Bradley, Coach, random bags from Target. This seems to be more common than I realized! • I’ll report back later to let you know how it all turns out (or binds out....) 🤞🤞🤞 • #oklarootstuts

Time for the next quilt block in the #OklaRootsBlo

Time for the next quilt block in the #OklaRootsBlockParty! This month we are working with some basic rectangles, with one zinger: partial seams 😱. All kidding aside, partial seams are nothing to fear and really help in making beautiful blocks! You get those perfect points without the effort of lining seams up perfectly. • I cannot wait to see your version! Let me know how it goes! • #oklarootstuts

Remember how I mentioned things were getting weird

Remember how I mentioned things were getting weird around here? We can blame quarantine for the coordinating hand-made Mama and Child shirts... • So exited to watch @hamiltonmusical on @disneyplus tonight! Are you watching?? • #oklarootstuts #hamiltonmusical #thechild #babyyoda #coldfoam

In stories yesterday we discussed iron on clear vinyl, and I was surprised how many of you are already using it! Why am I just now trying? I’m so late to the game! • This is a small quilt I made and covered with iron on vinyl. You can see that the vinyl dulls the colors the tiniest bit, but it also helps protect the material like no other. It’s incredibly easy to work with and apply. • I’ll be using this in a tutorial soon! There are so many previous bags we’ve made that I now want to remake with this😍. So tell me how you’ve used iron on vinyl! Also share your favorite brands! • #oklarootstuts

So what do you consider a “scrap”? In my book, if I can’t fold it to stack noticeably with my fat quarters, it’s a scrap. • Today’s video tutorial is going over the For The Love of Change Pouch by Lauren Mormino, and I just adore this pattern. It’s quick, looks harder than it is, and is freaking adorable 😍. • Make sure to check out the video and tag @sewingwithlauren and myself when you post photos of your pouch! I love seeing how creative you all get with these patterns! • #oklarootstuts #zipperpouch #moremeknow

Did you catch the marathon in stories today? I’m walking you through all the steps I take to create this 9 square of quilt block photos. • If you’re participating in the #OklaRootsBlockParty now is a great time to pull some of your favorite blocks and see how they look together. You can get a better feel for your colors, maybe start drifting towards a specific color scheme. If you add the borders you also get an idea of what sashing will add to your quilt. • I hope you are having a great time with these blocks! I’ll be keeping my quilt super scrappy with some cream sashing. I can’t wait to see your version! • #oklarootstuts #oklarootspatterns

I just love spending time in my sewing room building quilt blocks! It always brings me back to the beginning days of the OklaRoots Instagram account. The sole reason I started this was to have a public accountant to participate in the 100 Blocks 100 Days Challenge. It’s crazy to think how it has evolved 🥰. • The block for July is fairly straight forward, but we will be tackling some partial seams 😱. I cannot wait to see your versions! • #oklarootstuts #oklarootsblockparty
