Crafty Weekly Roundup! 8.23.2021 – 8.27.2021

Stash Additions - Aug. 30, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

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:

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!

Just kidding 😂 But I will admit, I spend 8-10 hours doing this for each pattern. After thousands of step ups on my kitchen chair I’m going to be angry if my 🍑 isn’t looking better.

To enter this giveaway answer the following question: 

Name a pattern or design (bag or quilt) that you would suggest for someone who is just starting out sewing. Something easy yet satisfying to get them into this craft. 

For me, I always recommend the Itty Bitty Boxy Bag. Yes, I know it's my own pattern, but that little stinker is CUTE and quick. The perfect gateway bag to our world 😉.

Don't you worry, I haven't forgotten about our giveaway palooza... and we're now on to Bundle 5!

Ok, easy question to answer for this:

What sewing project are you currently working on? Or if you're in between projects, what's next? A bag? A quilt? Let us know! And if you can tell us the designer and/or pattern name that would be great too. Let's all build a list of fun projects to work on this winter.

I just finished a Totes Cute Tote today and my next project is an easy wallet. It's a custom pattern (by yours truly) that will hopefully come together as planned and can be shared with everyone soon.
