This month on YouTube!

We've covered a LOT at the start of 2022! Big bags, little bags.... tiny bags. It's a great start to the year with tons of fun options!

The New Stuff:

More...

Sewing notions from Lauren's shop are ALWAYS such a treat!

Basic necessities! The BEST waterproof canvas and so much fun webbing! Webbing is great for bag straps.

I finally broke down and purchased a "real" computer chair... and it's ADORABLE! Check out these chairs here.Use code OKLAROOTS for a sweet discount. 

This mix of Mario and poker chips from Mojo Sews has me SO excited to make some game bags! Maybe a poker bag? Is that a thing?

Oh yea... the most epic crossover ever! I do love some haunted mansion and muppets! And check out the whimsical fabric! 

If you're looking for unique and just SUPER fun fabric, make sure to check out the Freaking Fabulous Fabric Club! If you use code oklaroots, you'll have a good chance of making it off the waitlist soon!

Look. At. Those. COLORS! Oh my word, this is making my Lisa Frank loving heart happy! Sew Majestic has some incredibly unique bag making hardware, that will also go with every project. 

Ok I have a thousand ideas of how I'm going to use these amazing materials from Sew Girlie Fun . And did you see those ZIPPER TAPES? Blowing my mind!

Have you seen OklaRoots' new favorite item? The 1" x 6" rulers are such a fun accessory, and a personal favorite notion in my sewing room. Make sure to keep an eye on ShopOklaroots for new colors and options!

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 💪)

My latest fabric purchase! Was I influenced? Was I My latest fabric purchase! Was I influenced? Was I peer pressured? Maybe a bit of FOMO played a role? Doesn’t matter, no regrets 👍

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!

Happy Halfway To Halloween! In honor of the beginn Happy Halfway To Halloween! In honor of the beginning of the Halloween season (don’t argue with me about this) I made myself a spoooooky themed quilt block using some of my favorite fabric!

Curved blocks seem hard, but once you try this method you’ll have them down in no time. 

Finished block size is 8.5“ x 8.5“ (including the final seam allowance)

Templates are from the Magic Maker QUILT set (not the appliqué), size LARGE in Shop OklaRoots. The ones I’m using are for the Ears portion, but you could use the larger face curved blocks in the set to make an even bigger block. 

Material is quilt cotton from the Nightshade line from @tulapink .
