Crafty Weekly Roundup! 10.4.2021 – 10.8.2021

Stash Additions - Oct. 10, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

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!

Yes, this zip pouch is adorable. Yes, you can get Yes, this zip pouch is adorable.
Yes, you can get really creative with materials and appliqué.
Yes, it’s super scrap friendly.
Yes, it’s beginner friendly.
Yes, it’s ridiculously fun to make.

But if those reason aren’t enough for you to try the Real Lip Shady from @kazconadesigns then let me give you one more: It is an incredible, confidence boosting skill builder. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shied away from patterns that have that back and forth curvy zipper, for fear of it not turning out ::just:: right.

But this pattern? Easy peasy! The measurements are perfect, the tips are spot on, and the curvy wurvy zipper is glorious. 

10/10! You gotta make this.

These week we’re going up against my bag making ne These week we’re going up against my bag making nemesis: piping. And we’re nailing it! Mostly 😉

Today’s tutorial is going over the Traverse Bag from @noodlehead531 ! This bag is so much fun. It has the look of a messenger bag but the ease of a simple zip pouch. The functionality is spot on and it comes in two sizes! 

This is also September’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box! The waxed canvas we’re using is stunning 😍. And although I usually reach for a webbing strap, that handmade strap is well worth the extra few minutes. 

Enjoy and happy Monday!
