Crafty Weekly Roundup! 7.26.2021 – 7.30.2021

Stash Additions, Tutorials - Jul. 31, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

(click image for link to shops/patterns/tutorials)

This week on YouTube!

Our Monday bag tutorial was for the ADORABLE and free Acacia Crossbody Bag, the perfect small accessory. 

For our embroidery tutorial we went step by step through my puffy hat process!

Goodies added to the stash:

More...

Zipper Valley sent over some beautiful zipper tape and pulls! I love the selection they have and their gorgeous colors. 

I may have purchased too much vinyl in the Sew Dulce preorder, but I regret nothing! The wide variety of textures and colors means I'll have the perfect vinyl for any project.... and probably some extra to give away 🙂

There aren't many patterns I make over and over, but the Purse Pal is definitely one of them! To make cutting out material quicker and more precise, I invested in some durable acrylic templates from Tops and Bobbins. 

Mojo Sews sent over the sweetest combination of items from their shop, including vinyl, zipper pulls and nylon webbing. I love the themed selection and vibrant colors available!

A Little Extra

I also shared a peak at some personal projects I've been working on. There's no tutorial for these quick pouches on my channel, but you can find the pattern here and a tutorial for it on the Corter Leather channel.

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.
