Crafty Roundup! February 2022

Stash Additions - Mar. 02, 2022 - Jessica OklaRoots

This month on YouTube!

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. 

The New Stuff:

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.

More...

Zipper Valley is one of my top go-to zipper suppliers. They always have the most pleasing colors that will work in any bag. 

Oooo these zippers and webbing from Idle Blooms are SO VIBRANT! I'm so excited to use these in some fun projects. 

I flipped out when I opened this box of COLOR from My Handmade Space! These neon zippers and the incredible assortment of zipper pulls are screaming summer. 

Not sewing related, but magical accents are always a fun thing to share. BBBrooke offers some of my favorite ears and watch band accessories. 

We all know how much I love Sewfuse from Castine Handcrafted, and I was lucky to score some recently. But Monica also sells all kinds of back hardware, notions, and handmade items!

    Hi, you had shown in stories some really cool webbing that were pastel colors and stripes. What month did you have those in your roundup?

    Thank you!

This month’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box is for the ADORABLE Zuri Crossbody from @bagstockdesigns 😍😍

This cutie has some really clever pockets that allow it to remain functional and keep that beautiful design. It’s a great quick-ish sew and would be a fun project to make with family or at a retreat.

Enjoy!

The 2026 Summer Mega Box is here!!! This box is P The 2026 Summer Mega Box is here!!!

This box is PACKED with goodies! Tons of material, hardware and notions, as all as all kinds of extra goodies. 

The featured pattern for this back is the Andy Backpack from @uhohcreations and this is one of my favorite patterns of all time. This bag is great for schools, college, work, travel, slumber parties… you name it! It has the most clever pockets and that come together in the coolest way. It’s a more intermediate make, but I believe a confident beginner would also enjoy it. Just take your time!

I’ve also included my latest Passport Pouch pattern with this box. You should have an email with the coupon code to snag it completely free, AND the templates are included in the box 🥰. 

There are two versions that were available: the bold and the neutral. Both truly live up to their name. The bold is bright and vibrant, with special prints designed by Gabbi at @wondergroundfabrics . The neutral is truly neutral and great for ANYONE. 

My video tutorial for the Passport Pouch will be available on July 20th and the tutorial for the Andy Backpack will be out on July 27th. 

I hope you love this!!

In the most recent OklaRoots YouTube video I’m showing you how I prepare a tshirt to be used in a bag pattern. It’s simple, straightforward and easy. 

I now have a huge bin of tshirts waiting to be made into a bag! Enjoy!

This week we’re making a larger version of one of This week we’re making a larger version of one of the most popular sling patterns out there! Today’s tutorial is for the Fielder Sling by @kandoucrafts . 

I know I know, I keep talking about travel bags. I promise I’ll move on after this! But honestly, if you’re going to a crowded area, this bag is perfect to keep all your personals safe. It has multiple front pockets, lays flat against the body and has the coolest curved pocket on the back. And it’s a quick make!

If you want to make the small version of this bag check out the Mini Travel Sling from Kandou Patterns! 

Have a great week everyone ❤️❤️

Need a quick break from the summer chaos? A lil mi Need a quick break from the summer chaos? A lil mini retreat in your sewing room? I got you 😘

This week we’re whipping up the Sun Spec Duo from @sewnideaspatterns and it’s one of those patterns you could make a DOZEN of in a day! Super scrap friendly, great for beginners, and one of the most useful gifts you could give.

This cutie can easily hold two pairs of glasses, preventing any scratching, and even has a third pocket for extras! So smart!

Have fun making this!
