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!

Too cute to only stay in stories, so to the feed i Too cute to only stay in stories, so to the feed it goes!

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 💪)

My latest fabric purchase! Was I influenced? Was I My latest fabric purchase! Was I influenced? Was I peer pressured? Maybe a bit of FOMO played a role? Doesn’t matter, no regrets 👍

I purchased the Fireglow collection by Sarah Watts with @rubystarsociety from @stashfabrics and the metallics are on point! I love how vibrant these prints look. 10/10

Now I just need a pattern!

We’ve got a man bag this week! Ok, this is NOT a We’ve got a man bag this week!

Ok, this is NOT a bag that’s just for the men. But I get asked constantly for bag suggestions for sons, husbands, brothers, etc. And while I do love to see a man rocking a colorful bag, I understand that neutral is a favorite option for most people in general.

Honestly? College Jess would have bought this bag in a second! I love how the Chris Satchel has that unique flap on the front with the strap to keep it tucked against the bag. The side anchors look so cool extending all the way up from the bottom. And the size is great for work and school. Once again, @uhohcreations hit this pattern out of the park!

The full kit for this bag is part of May’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box and I’m obsessed with this water resistant oxford! It almost looks like a linen but is much easier to work with and maintain. 

Let me know what you’re working on this week!

Happy Halfway To Halloween! In honor of the beginn Happy Halfway To Halloween! In honor of the beginning of the Halloween season (don’t argue with me about this) I made myself a spoooooky themed quilt block using some of my favorite fabric!

Curved blocks seem hard, but once you try this method you’ll have them down in no time. 

Finished block size is 8.5“ x 8.5“ (including the final seam allowance)

Templates are from the Magic Maker QUILT set (not the appliqué), size LARGE in Shop OklaRoots. The ones I’m using are for the Ears portion, but you could use the larger face curved blocks in the set to make an even bigger block. 

Material is quilt cotton from the Nightshade line from @tulapink .
