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!

13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . Here’s how 13 minutes of me yapping about my 🍑 . 

Here’s how my first colonoscopy prep went down! If it’s time for you get this checkup, make sure to make that appointment. It’s not a fun 24 hours but can help prevent a whole lot of other problems. 

Colon cancer runs in my family and I’ve seen the impacts it can cause if not caught early. 45 is the recommended age for your first scan, but if you have symptoms and/or a family history, you may want to get this done sooner. I’m 41 and so glad I did this now. My Dr. said he had his first at 37, so there is no shame in staying on top of this sooner than later. 

Take care of your booties!

The Tabitha Dual Wallet from @lets_sewcialize_designs can be a crossbody bag, a wristlet and even functions as wallet! It’s a fun one to make with lots of variation available, and the most original design.

And the duo zippers 🤯 you can have a LOT of fun playing with zipper tape combos there.

Full tutorial on the OklaRoots YouTube channel ❤️

Happy Monday!

I recently destashed and reorganized my vinyl supply and I thought I would share my process. Vinyl organization is tricky. The rolls are pretty big (most of mine are 18” wide) and it’s hard to really SEE them all when they’re stacked up. But, work with what you’ve got.

How do you organize your vinyl?

This adorable purse comes together in a matter of minutes and can be modified in any way you need. Keep it neutral and chic, make it funky and bright, add some heavy stabilizer to keep it super structured, or skip the stabilizer and keep it loose. So many options, and it’s all QUICK!

This is also the @bagmakingbeesclub Babe Box for March/April, and yes, that amazing bag chain is included 😱

Have you tried this one yet?? I hope you do!

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 ❤️
