This week on YouTube!

This week's bag video is not only ADORABLE and the first time we've showcased a ByAnnie Pattern... it's also for a great cause! Ad revenue for this video for the month of October will be donated to breast cancer research! Check out this post to learn more.

I have a feeling many of you have an embroidery machine on your wish list this year.... and here's another project for you to plan for! This amazing notepad holders from Crashing Waves come together quickly and are the BEST last minute gifts!

The New Stuff:

More...

I'm completely hooked on slap bands for holding stabilizer, vinyl, thread... all of it! Here are some links to get you started: Kimberbell, Ruler, Plain, Fun.

So I haven't been able to find the exact link for this shirt yet, but keep an eye on the Juki Junkies website for fun sewing tshirts! 

These beautiful ears are my new favorite accessory! These were gifted to me from Mouse Made Magic, and I couldn't rave about them more. Make sure to check out their shop, they have bags too! 

I know I know I know... stop buying so much thread. But it's just so stinking pretty! The holiday varieged thread from Wizardry Stitchery came out, and I gobbled it up. AND! I'm already down half a spool. So I'm using it!

What's in the box?!

I'll share more this week, stay tuuuuuuuned!

We are making the CUTEST bag this week! The Walt We are making the CUTEST bag this week! 

The Walt Crossbody from @minnieinthemountains is absolutely adorable and I love the two size options. I’m also so grateful to Jen for sharing with us how to make the ears and the bow. I’ll be using that on future bags!

Have fun with this one!

About time we made a wallet! This week we’re sewi About time we made a wallet!

This week we’re sewing up the Ellie Wallet from @sewfisticatedsg and it’s one of the best BEST and EASIEST wallets I’ve made 😱

This is also Augusts @bagmakingbeesclub box and we’ve got bonded nylon, faux leather and ripstop!

Month 1 of @duckadillyfabrics Regent Street BOM is Month 1 of @duckadillyfabrics Regent Street BOM is complete! 

I love how we’re starting out with simple rectangles. This makes it great for those of us (me) who are still newer to foundation paper piecing. 

It’s a big block with lots of beautiful fabric! I can’t wait to see this come together ❤️

[This is an 18 month block of the month, all foundation paper pieced, all @libertylondon fabric]

Free pattern alert! This week’s tutorial is going Free pattern alert! This week’s tutorial is going over the fun and chic Haley Wristlet from @kaurthreads . I love how adaptable this pattern is: easily make it a crossbody, add card slot pockets, and an embroidery design to the exterior… so many creative opportunities!

This is also the July/August Bag Making BABE Box from @bagmakingbeesclub , a great sew for those newer to bag making or wanting to try out bonded nylon and water resistant canvas. I love how simple and classic it turned out 🖤💜.

Have a great start to August!

Just trying to eat up my expensive scraps any way Just trying to eat up my expensive scraps any way I can… 🥴

Do you do anything with smalls scraps? I toss most, but for my really special materials (Harris Tweed, Liberty, etc) I’m always trying to find creative ways to use them.

Ok back to bags!
Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Babi Boxy Crossbody (a pattern originally designed for clear vinyl) is finally a success!

I’ll have a full video tutorial AND written instructions available soon ❤️❤️❤️

My masterpiece(s) of 2026! The stunning Andy Backp My masterpiece(s) of 2026! The stunning Andy Backpacks!! 

I’m so stinking proud of these. And I’m still not sure how @uhohcreations was able to write a pattern for this that makes it easy for us to create our own. The math and shapes and intricacies of this, but then the easy way the pattern explains each step. I still don’t know how I ended up sewing this, and I made it TWICE! Pattern magic I tell you!

And sadly, the @bagmakingbeesclub Mega Box which supplied all the materials for each bag is no longer available for order 😭. Be sure to check out all the beautiful nylon materials you can put together to make your own Andy at @wondergroundfabrics 🥰

I feel like a bag warrior after making these 💪💪
