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!

We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our We loved visiting these fabric stores while on our summer UK trip!

Started at Misan (@misanretail ) in London, which had some of the most gorgeous apparel fabric! They had all things pretty, sparkly and unique. They also had a great selection of tweeds and leathers (which I stocked up on).

Next we visited Borovick Fabrics (@borovickfabricslondon ) and snagged even more material! Make sure to explore the entire space for some really stunning and original fabrics. 

Of course we had to stop by MacCulloch and Wallis (@maccullochw ) and check out all the haberdashery! They had plenty of material and sewing tools, but also tons of yarn and other craft supplies. Mila did quite a bit of shopping here.

Then we ventured to Edinburgh Castle (@edinburghcastle ) and actually found a large assortment of tweed materials in a gift shop! I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing anything. 

We wrapped up our fabric shop tour at Edinburgh Fabrics (@edinburghfabrics ) which not only offered all the materials you would come to expect, but they also had a huge selection of tweed AND Liberty of London lawns! The dream!!

Can’t wait to go back and find even more stores!

Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work Block 2 is done! Love that we’re starting to work on some diagonal cuts now.

Those triangle bits used to be such a struggle for me. Knowing how to line it up so it completely covers the area can be challenging. My method is to draw the diagonal line on the fabric, just as I want the stitches to be in the end. Then flip it upside down and line it up with the stitch line on the paper. And bam! Perfect fit with less waste 💪❤️.

I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t n I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t need in life. But as a bag maker, I would say the AnnaBelle Shoulder Bag pattern from @siahswagbags is a Bag Making 101 essential. The shape is gorgeous, you can have lots of fun with modifications, and the look of this bag can be SO different depending on the material. The structure is fantastic (LOVE the foam sandwich method) and overall it’s a fun way to spend time sewing. 10/10 no notes!

Enjoy!

The Ellie Card Case from @missfrecklesdesign is a beautiful accessory that has four card slots and a center pocket. This is a great project for quilt cotton! And there is NO HARDWARE 🙏

Check out Miss Freckles on Instagram to see her reel walking you through the process, or go visit the OklaRoots YouTube Channel for a yappy tutorial. 

Have a great week friends ❤️
