Crafty Weekly Roundup! 8.23.2021 – 8.27.2021

This week on YouTube!

This week we made the ULTIMATE scrap buster! These adorable quick ID holders can be made entirely from scraps and are useful for 99% of the people who you know. Make is a wristlet, a landyard, or click it to your purse. The Carly from Sallie Tomato is a sewing must have!

New Stuff:

More...

This new vinyl from Indo Love Kreation BLEW ME AWAY! It's obviously beautiful, but it was also easy to sew! That extreme texture is everything I need right now, and the zipper tape and seatbelt webbing match with the colors perfectly!

Have you seen anything cuter than these little creatures?? Not only does Bedazzled Supplies have the traditional color of zipper pulls, but they also have some FULL COLOR options! Say what?! 

Since I was so excited with my new textured vinyl, I immediately sewed up a couple Carly ID holders and I can tell you, it's beginner friendly vinyl. I was SHOCKED! Not sticky, not too thick, doesn't stretch. They're currently sold out, but make sure to get. on the waiting list for a restock!

So I've spent way too much time lately zooming in and studying this clear pouch from Stony Clover (which I LOVE). But as a crafter, I of course want to make my own version. This week on social we talked a lot about binding, and I received some great suggestions! From quilt cotton, to PUL to folded elastic, we're going to figure this out!

    I would love to purchase some more embroidered wallet tabs you are selling for the purse pals. When will they be available to purchase?

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.
