This week on YouTube!

Such an incredible go-to tote bag! The Wool and Wax from Noodlehead is great for beginners and the perfect pattern to get you sew-jo back. I personally love it to test out new vinyl and fabric combinations!

The sweet folks over at Kimberbell were so kind to send me their current Bella Box, and I couldn't be more excited about all the goodies inside. They packed this box full of so much happiness!

It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

This month I have the opportunity to team up with some of the most amazing content creators and artists to help raise money for breast cancer research! ByAnnie is hosting their fabulous #sewPink initiative once again! So get ready for tons of crafty ideas and ways to support our community. To check out the schedule click here (spoiler: October 14th will be an OklaRoots tutorial going over a ByAnnie pattern... eeek!). 

Take care of those ta-tas my friends!!

New Stuff:

I know it seems like I have a new Wonderground order every week. But, well, I do. Gabbi is just keeps adding amazing new items to her shop! She's got some beautiful fabric available now and coming soon, as well as zipper tape, hardware (1.5" and 2" as well), and some adorable patches!

I was gifted the most amazing assortment of zipper pulls from Sew Majestic by Amber this week! I love the back to school and fall options, great for any teachers and bus drivers in your life!

It might seem like I have a fabric and zipper pull problem. But what I really have is a thread buying problem! I just can't resist these variegated colors. My latest order from Wizardry Stitchery is so festive, and I may have another box of fun threads on the way this week. Someone stop me!

Comment BEACH and I’ll message you a like to today Comment BEACH and I’ll message you a like to today’s video 💪🏝️☀️

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.

Too cute to only stay in stories, so to the feed i Too cute to only stay in stories, so to the feed it goes!

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!
