This week on YouTube!

This might be my new favorite go-to quick gift project! You don't need much material, and it turns out fantastic! Check out this clear zip copy cat pouch, with free templates!

My first ever sewing expo was SO much fun! Even though my time there was short, it was a beautiful trip to meet some of the most creative individuals in our crafty community. 

The New Stuff:

More...

This month's box from Sew Your Bag took my breath away! That gold fabric is AMAZING, just like all the other wonderful goodies. I highly suggest this box for sewists at all levels! (And make sure to watch my social media for info on how you can win one!)

Ok, I know it's not craft related, but this collection of Disney goodies really brightens up my room! The cups are super hard to find right now, but that little snap tab wallet was purchased purely for educational purposes (wink wink). 

I'll admit it, I'm a mystery box addict. Throw in some suspense and a dash of holiday, and I buying it! This spooky Halloween Mystery Box from Fat Quarter Shop is so much fun!

I've had the chance to play with this zipper template a few times, and it's such an easy tool! Emporium Threads gifted me this template, and it's been a breeze to use on my bags!

I forgot to include this incredible Elf On The Shelf Holiday Hack last week! This kit includes soooooo many goodies for your mischievous elf to play with. What I really love is that you can indicate how many children you have, so everyone has a chance to play!

That’s one happy bag lady ❤️ This week’s tutorial That’s one happy bag lady ❤️

This week’s tutorial is going over the incredibly useful Traveler’s Trifecta from @sewfisticatedsg . This pattern comes in three sizes, each perfect for travel and organization.

As we get into the holidays it’s time to think about bags that work as great gifts for anyone, and this one hits the nail on the head. Mom? Perfect. Dad? He’ll love it. Yourself? Well, obviously, 100% (use the really good material 😉). 

This is also the @bagmakingbeesclub kit for November, and you have everything you need to make TWO BAGS 😱 I know… happy holidays!

Have a great week!

Does the color of your sewing tools make any diffe Does the color of your sewing tools make any difference in terms of functionality?
No.
Does it make the creative process more magical?
For some of us it does!

Just had to share this beautiful “the other stuff” shot from tomorrow’s tutorial 💕.

It was one EPIC trip! I’m so grateful the family It was one EPIC trip!

I’m so grateful the family and I had the opportunity to get away for a couple days and have some fun down at @universalorlando . We rode our favorites rides, experienced a water park in the dark of night, and spent some time at the newest park. 

If you have the chance to get to any of the 4 Universal parks in Orlando, definitely take advantage of it! 

(And yes, my kids are best friends. I’m a lucky Mama ❤️)

It’s that time of year where I’m constantly making It’s that time of year where I’m constantly making last minute items to fit my mood. With less than 10 days until Halloween I decided I NEEDED an adorable coffee cardigan for school pickup. The coffee tags from this week’s Fresh Tag Friday from @heartwoodandhide_co are the perfect addition! 

Hope you’re enjoying some holiday sewing!

(Full tutorial for the coffee sleeve is available on the Jess OklaRoots YouTube channel. Templates available in @shopoklaroots )
