Crafty Weekly Roundup! 8.16.2021 – 8.20.2021

Stash Additions - Aug. 23, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

This week on YouTube!

Probably the most popular design of wallet to buy, we tried our hand at the small zip around wallet. This adorable pattern from Miss Freckles Designs comes out looking SO professional! Just take your time around those curves.

Mask chains are a daily accessory in our house! Whether it's school, the grocery store or traveling to local theme parks, it's so much easier to have our masks hanging close by than stuffed in someone's pocket. 

Goodies added to the stash:

More...

Lauren Mormino is the ultimate bag maker, so of course she offers some of the BEST supplies out there! These pumpkins and poison apples have me so ready for the fall!

This was my first order from Dream Big Creations, and I already have a cart full with my second. These pulls and webbing are some of the coolest I've seen yet! Pretty much whatever design you're looking for, they have it!

I may be putting in weekly orders with Wonderground Fabrics, and it's no surprising why. Gabbi has some of the most original vinyl out there! This clear vinyl is a treasure in my house, and the haunted pulls are going to be great on some spooky snack bags!

If you've placed an order with ShopOklaRoots, you know we love to have fun with our packaging! These perfect-for-me mailers from Magic Mail Supply Co are going to hold  every order this fall!

I have been using these custom labels from Heartwood and Hide on almost everything, and I know many of you have as well. Just a sneak peak of some amazing new color options they'll have this fall!

Misty over at Printy Fabrics sent over some of the coolest waterproof canvas I've seen yet! These printed designs will be perfect additions to your bag! She also has some amazing PUL options, as well as velvet coming soon. 

As you may have noticed, I have a lot going on over here. Too much, honestly. But to help keep track of everything I use multiple planners. These is my faithful planners for 2022!

For my personal life and day-to-day schedule, I use Large Planner from Rifle Paper Co. It has just enough room to write down everything for each day, and lays it out in a weekly format so I can plan ahead.

For OklaRoots, I need a planner with a lot more space. So I use the largest option from Plum Paper. This is fun because you can customize everything from the exterior design, to the layout on each page. A HUGE help for a small business!

Have you tried Foundation Paper Piecing? How do yo Have you tried Foundation Paper Piecing? How do you feel about it?

I know I’m quilt cotton averse when it comes to accessories, but I’m slowly coming around. I especially like using this material when we can piece it!

For anyone interested in this unique technique, I just released a super simple and quick pattern walking you step-by-step in the process to make a curved flying geese. And of course I included a free video, available on the OklaRoots YouTube channel 🤗

Have a great weekend! Make it a relaxing one ❤️

This week’s tutorial has me feeling SO out of the This week’s tutorial has me feeling SO out of the bag loop 🫣

Apparently there is a whole lot of love for pouches with a large double zip opening… and this is the first time I’ve seen one! 

The Aneira from @the.styled.magnolia is a BEAUTIFUL pattern that comes together in the coolest way. I promise you haven’t constructed a bag this way before, it’s SO smart. This is a great quick-ish sew, doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles. But you’re definitely going to learn something new about curved gussets 🤗.

I hope you enjoy it! Have a great week friends ❤️

This week’s tutorial is going over the oh-so-adora This week’s tutorial is going over the oh-so-adorable Aurora Sling from @the.styled.magnolia !

This little cutie is a FUN bag to make! Super unique and handy gusset method, scrappy, and quick. This is a great make for those spring break and summer trips!

Quick question: for your every day bag, do you prefer to make it with vinyl (faux leather), nylon, or quilt cotton?? Let me know!

Ok friends, be kind while I figure out this voice Ok friends, be kind while I figure out this voice over and text technique ❤️. 

Here is a quick tutorial on how to use the Hidden D-Ring template available in @shopoklaroots . This is a great technique to add a D-Ring to a bag where you don’t have a seam or an easier option.

For example, the Wish Tote has the strap anchor webbing stitched across the front and back panels. But if you want to modify the exterior with a large zipper or you have a featured design you don’t want covered, the Hidden D-Ring is a great option!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Did you catch my big mistake in today’s tutorial? Did you catch my big mistake in today’s tutorial? 🤦‍♀️ I still can’t believe I did that, so embarrassing! But it happens to all of us at some point.

This month’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee box is GORGEOUS! The calming bonded nylon and easy to work with waterproof canvas was the perfect combo for a relaxing make. And the Mountain Saddle Bag pattern from @emmalinebags is, of course, absolutely perfect. 

This pattern comes in two sizes and I’m featuring the Mini size. It’s a perfect every day bag and can be mixed and matched in so many ways. Make sure to check the tutorial for tips on piecing the gusset and adaptions for a removable strap 👍

Happy Monday everyone!

A quick project to play with your quilt cotton scr A quick project to play with your quilt cotton scraps! You can use this method on ANY appliqué design. Just grab some decovil light remnants, pretty material, a fun design and stitch it on to your bag! Easy peasy 😊

Designs used are the following:
- Small Magic Maker Appliqué stitched on the Mini Wish Tote. Both available in @shopoklaroots

It’s happening… I’m entering my QUILTING ERA PART It’s happening… I’m entering my QUILTING ERA PART 2! Or maybe it’s part 3….

But we’re getting back to quilting, baby! Woo! 

This has been a topic of conversation in my DMs for over a year now, and I miss quilting with you all so much. We’re tip toeing back into it, so I’m trying some new-to-me techniques before we dive into the next quilt along. 

I’ve tried Foundation Paper Piecing a couple times, and completely failed at it. I don’t know why I just couldn’t wrap my head around this method. I’m still by no means an expert, but I made this adorable Hopeful Rabbit quilt block from Snuggle Puzzle Quilt Co and it actually turned out! This is so exciting!

Follow along in this week’s YouTube tutorial to see how it came together. And yes… I’m totally hooked. There will be more FPP to come!
