  • You can find a list of pattern designers I have been approved to film for here (this is list is updated every few months, so check back!)
  • A playlist of easy (beginner friendly) tutorials
  • New (to me) pattern designers I'm currently buying from: Sarah Mariam and Chris W Designs
  • New, more intermediate, quilt along is in the works! Previous OklaRoots Block Party Quilt Along can be found here. 
  • Cylinder arm machines I'm considering: Thor GC1341, Techsew 4800 PRO, and the Juki LS-1341
  • My favorite domestic threads : I like a Tex 35 when just starting out, and I get that from Wizadry Stitchery.  But I mainly use a Tex 45 weight, you can find it at Wizardry Stitchery, Wonderground Fabrics, and Siah Swag

All new colors of our most popular items have arri All new colors of our most popular items have arrived in @shopoklaroots ! We have the popular Large Spiked Craft Bowls restocked as well as the Rounded Fancy Straps. 

I’ve also received requests for clear Strapzeez in standard shapes like the rectangle and circle, for those times you need the functionality of the accessory and not the colorful bling 👍.

Have a great weekend!

This week we’re making the INCREDIBLE Taylor Beach Bag from @uhohcreations ! This is a beginner friendly quick make that can hold a LOT! I am especially loving this vinyl mesh that makes the bag breathable but still supported.

This would also be a great bag for the pool, sleepover, road trips, my secret fabric stash 🤫 You name it! 

All of the material for this bag comes from this months @bagmakingbeesclub BABE box, a great subscription for beginners and sew-jo boosting.

I got a lot of questions about these ADORABLE keychains. They come as a set and they’re from @factoryfiftyfive . I highly recommend checking them out if you love all kinds of magical accessories ❤️❤️.

(Also yes, this is all cotton thread. I know I know, I say only use polyester for bags, and I’m sticking to that! These threads are used for quilting 💪)

Now I just need a pattern!
