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

Yes, this zip pouch is adorable. Yes, you can get Yes, this zip pouch is adorable.
Yes, you can get really creative with materials and appliqué.
Yes, it’s super scrap friendly.
Yes, it’s beginner friendly.
Yes, it’s ridiculously fun to make.

But if those reason aren’t enough for you to try the Real Lip Shady from @kazconadesigns then let me give you one more: It is an incredible, confidence boosting skill builder. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve shied away from patterns that have that back and forth curvy zipper, for fear of it not turning out ::just:: right.

But this pattern? Easy peasy! The measurements are perfect, the tips are spot on, and the curvy wurvy zipper is glorious. 

10/10! You gotta make this.

These week we’re going up against my bag making ne These week we’re going up against my bag making nemesis: piping. And we’re nailing it! Mostly 😉

Today’s tutorial is going over the Traverse Bag from @noodlehead531 ! This bag is so much fun. It has the look of a messenger bag but the ease of a simple zip pouch. The functionality is spot on and it comes in two sizes! 

This is also September’s @bagmakingbeesclub Bee Box! The waxed canvas we’re using is stunning 😍. And although I usually reach for a webbing strap, that handmade strap is well worth the extra few minutes. 

Enjoy and happy Monday!
