Gifts For The Bag Maker

Gift Guides - Nov. 12, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Bag makers use such a wide variety of tools! From the items that make the hard work easier, to the ones that just make it SO much more fun, you won't be short on gift ideas for your bag making friends. I've included the essentials I use every day, as well as some cozy and inspirational items. As we move into colder weather, us barefoot sewers need to protect our tootsies. These slippers are my favorite! I also included 3 bag making books I have on my personal wish list. These are great to study for ideas and inspiration. Have fun and Happy Holidays!

    Which Kai Scissors do you have and love. I have an Ukranian friend who wants to buy some good scissors while she is in U.S. I heard you say that you loved your Kai Scissors and I would like to know which one. I saw a lot of them on Amazon Thankyou Jess

Derek and I have been so many different versions o Derek and I have been so many different versions of ourselves over the last 15+ years, but we’ve always been best friends. Throwing a little belated anniversary love out for us ❤️
🤔 Riddle me this: how could we make this bag wi 🤔 Riddle me this: how could we make this bag with the zippers closing towards the outer edges? When they are both open, they would meet at the middle divider, but when both closed, they are at opposite sides of the bag. Using only one long piece of zipper tape. Can it be done?! How do you attach the pulls?? 

Anywho! My brand spanking new pattern is now available in @shopoklaroots ! The Wet Dry Bag Pattern is beginner friendly and super handy. We are using one long zipper to create two separate zipper compartments, great for dividing up any necessary items. Add a mesh or vinyl pocket, snaps, strap, you name it! 

This is just a fun sew that would also be great for holiday gifting (you know I’m going to be giving you ideas for the next few months… ‘tis the season!)

Enjoy!
