Stash Additions, Tutorials - Aug. 15, 2021 - Jessica OklaRoots

This week on YouTube!

This week we put together some of the coolest hacks you've come up with for the fan-favorite Purse Pal from Linds Handmade! You can get so creative with these, and I love hearing other alts you come up with!

We've hit the first Friday of the month, which means it's time for another month of the Cotton Cuts Spring 2021 Sparkle and Shine Mystery Quilt! We've only got 3 months to go, and I cannot wait to see this quilt! 

Goodies added to the stash:

Ok, I'm trying to keep my cool.... but LOOK AT THAT VINYL!! How cool is that?! It changes color when heat touches it! Bob and Jen's Odds and Ends have some of the coolest items, and were so incredibly sweet to send over a book about my favorite villain. I think I need to plan a tropical vacation to read it cover to cover. 

Many of you know my love of Liberty of London fabric runs deep, and when I heard there was a more affordable quilt cotton version I JUMPED! These prints are so vibrant and cheerful, and Hawthorn Supply Co is one of my favorite retailers!

This week I received month 2 of the Sew Your Bag subscription, and it was once again awesome! If you're a new sewer and not sure what items you need to invest in, this is a great option! Not only do you get some amazing fabric and interfacing to use in a pattern, but you also receive tools and hardware! So great to build your sewing stash!

Other Stuff!

Love these embroidered wallet tabs? Stay tuned, more designs hitting the shop this week!

It's almost that time of year my creepy friends, and I'm diving head first into all things Haunted Mansion! Maybe a couple of these will come to Shop OklaRoots soon....

Did you hear my rant about The Little Mermaid? This hat popped right in my face during my recent Disney trip, and I couldn't believe the taunt!

    I was trying to see if you have a comment on gradient thread that u used but didn’t find any reference. Do you use it because it is more interesting and is more likely to match with fabric? How do select the color. So many pretty options?

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!

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!

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 ❤️
