Crafty Weekly Roundup! 10.4.2021 – 10.8.2021

This week on YouTube!

This was a catch up week in the OklaRoots home. We started October with a nice and easy quilt block, for month number 9 of the Cotton Cuts Mystery Quilt. And ended the week with a surprise get together that I'll never forget. 

The New Stuff:

More...

More thread?! Why, of course! Your girl needs options! All of these spools change color in one way or another. Some will quickly change with some UV light, some will change with heat. I'm SO excited to play with these beauties from Wizardry Stitchery!

UK friends: listen up!! You have a great source for all kinds of bag make supplies and unique fabrics. Blooming Fabric Shop has so many fun options!

My first order from Whimsical Fabric Designs came in, and it did NOT disappoint. They have so many fun options for vinyl, I feel like I didn't buy enough. Clear vinyl too!

I know it's not Halloween yet.... but I'm READY for the winter holidays!! Sew Girlie Fun sent me over strikes from their current preorder, and it's SO GOOD! Make sure to check it out before the preorder closes!

A moment I'll never forget: getting to meet so many wonderful people at the Sew Magical Expo! It felt like a reunion of strangers that were always meant to be friends. There's really no way to describe how wonderful it was to be surrounded by so many incredible artists. For most this was a fun adventure, for some it took a lot of courage to bring themselves there, and for others there is hope they'll be a part of this sewing convention next year. Incredible friends and the most welcoming group. I highly recommend joining this in the future if you can!

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 💪💪
