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!

We’ll try to do a live on YouTube later this week 🤞

We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our summer UK trip!

Started at Misan (@misanretail ) in London, which had some of the most gorgeous apparel fabric! They had all things pretty, sparkly and unique. They also had a great selection of tweeds and leathers (which I stocked up on).

Next we visited Borovick Fabrics (@borovickfabricslondon ) and snagged even more material! Make sure to explore the entire space for some really stunning and original fabrics. 

Of course we had to stop by MacCulloch and Wallis (@maccullochw ) and check out all the haberdashery! They had plenty of material and sewing tools, but also tons of yarn and other craft supplies. Mila did quite a bit of shopping here.

Then we ventured to Edinburgh Castle (@edinburghcastle ) and actually found a large assortment of tweed materials in a gift shop! I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing anything. 

We wrapped up our fabric shop tour at Edinburgh Fabrics (@edinburghfabrics ) which not only offered all the materials you would come to expect, but they also had a huge selection of tweed AND Liberty of London lawns! The dream!!

Can’t wait to go back and find even more stores!

Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work on some diagonal cuts now.

Those triangle bits used to be such a struggle for me. Knowing how to line it up so it completely covers the area can be challenging. My method is to draw the diagonal line on the fabric, just as I want the stitches to be in the end. Then flip it upside down and line it up with the stitch line on the paper. And bam! Perfect fit with less waste 💪❤️.

I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t n I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t need in life. But as a bag maker, I would say the AnnaBelle Shoulder Bag pattern from @siahswagbags is a Bag Making 101 essential. The shape is gorgeous, you can have lots of fun with modifications, and the look of this bag can be SO different depending on the material. The structure is fantastic (LOVE the foam sandwich method) and overall it’s a fun way to spend time sewing. 10/10 no notes!

Enjoy!
This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way! This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way!

The Ellie Card Case from @missfrecklesdesign is a beautiful accessory that has four card slots and a center pocket. This is a great project for quilt cotton! And there is NO HARDWARE 🙏

Check out Miss Freckles on Instagram to see her reel walking you through the process, or go visit the OklaRoots YouTube Channel for a yappy tutorial. 

Have a great week friends ❤️
