Crafty Weekly Roundup! 8.16.2021 – 8.20.2021

Stash Additions - Aug. 23, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

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

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!

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.

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 💪)

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!
