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!

I’ve also received requests for clear Strapzeez in standard shapes like the rectangle and circle, for those times you need the functionality of the accessory and not the colorful bling 👍.

Have a great weekend!

This week we’re making the INCREDIBLE Taylor Beach Bag from @uhohcreations ! This is a beginner friendly quick make that can hold a LOT! I am especially loving this vinyl mesh that makes the bag breathable but still supported.

This would also be a great bag for the pool, sleepover, road trips, my secret fabric stash 🤫 You name it! 

All of the material for this bag comes from this months @bagmakingbeesclub BABE box, a great subscription for beginners and sew-jo boosting.

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!
