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!

I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t n I’m not here to tell you what you need and don’t need in life. But as a bag maker, I would say the AnnaBelle Shoulder Bag pattern from @siahswagbags is a Bag Making 101 essential. The shape is gorgeous, you can have lots of fun with modifications, and the look of this bag can be SO different depending on the material. The structure is fantastic (LOVE the foam sandwich method) and overall it’s a fun way to spend time sewing. 10/10 no notes!

Enjoy!
This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way! This week we’re busting scraps in the CUTEST way!

The Ellie Card Case from @missfrecklesdesign is a beautiful accessory that has four card slots and a center pocket. This is a great project for quilt cotton! And there is NO HARDWARE 🙏

Check out Miss Freckles on Instagram to see her reel walking you through the process, or go visit the OklaRoots YouTube Channel for a yappy tutorial. 

Have a great week friends ❤️

The Walt Crossbody from @minnieinthemountains is absolutely adorable and I love the two size options. I’m also so grateful to Jen for sharing with us how to make the ears and the bow. I’ll be using that on future bags!

Have fun with this one!

Month 1 of @duckadillyfabrics Regent Street BOM is Month 1 of @duckadillyfabrics Regent Street BOM is complete! 

I love how we’re starting out with simple rectangles. This makes it great for those of us (me) who are still newer to foundation paper piecing. 

It’s a big block with lots of beautiful fabric! I can’t wait to see this come together ❤️

[This is an 18 month block of the month, all foundation paper pieced, all @libertylondon fabric]

Free pattern alert! This week’s tutorial is going Free pattern alert! This week’s tutorial is going over the fun and chic Haley Wristlet from @kaurthreads . I love how adaptable this pattern is: easily make it a crossbody, add card slot pockets, and an embroidery design to the exterior… so many creative opportunities!

This is also the July/August Bag Making BABE Box from @bagmakingbeesclub , a great sew for those newer to bag making or wanting to try out bonded nylon and water resistant canvas. I love how simple and classic it turned out 🖤💜.

Have a great start to August!

Do you do anything with smalls scraps? I toss most, but for my really special materials (Harris Tweed, Liberty, etc) I’m always trying to find creative ways to use them.

Ok back to bags!
Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Testing out the fully lined fabric version of the Babi Boxy Crossbody (a pattern originally designed for clear vinyl) is finally a success!

I’ll have a full video tutorial AND written instructions available soon ❤️❤️❤️
