Kendra Scott Bracelet Dupe

Tutorials - May. 06, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

So I've been drooling over this colorful beaded bracelet from Kendra Scott for months (sad story: the bracelet is now out of stock). But it was $68, and to me, that is a lot of money for a bracelet! I just couldn't pull the trigger. 

So instead, I decided to see if I could make a copy cat version of it myself! And I did!

Tutorials - Mar. 17, 2020 - Jessica OklaRoots

Big moments should be celebrated and shared with f Big moments should be celebrated and shared with friends.

This is the moment I received my first book advance. Still can’t believe I have the opportunity to do this. 

Thank you so much for sharing the excitement with me! I can’t wait to get pages in your hands 🥰

Today’s bag was SUCH a fun one to make! The Compass Bag from @noodlehead531 is so unique in how it comes together. I’ll be honest, I originally didn’t plan to do those cargo pockets 🤫 I thought they might be too challenging, but at the last minute I gave it a go and I’m so glad I did! They look incredibly chic on this shape in that color!

All the material for this came from October’s @bagmakingbeesclub box 💜 This was a really popular one and is sadly sold out, but @wondergroundfabrics has lots of beautiful material options, I bet you could talk Gabbi into putting together some kits

Thank you so much for the love on the video! Let me know if you switch it up, I would love to see your version.

It's time to start thinking about the holidays 😵‍💫🥴!! 

Which means we're making some of the CUTEST pouches. The Linda Project Bag from @missfrecklesdesign is a quick and fun pouch that would be great for gifting. Fill it with some craft supplies, treats, or toiletries and it's an instant hit. 

This is also the Babe Box for Sept-Ober and it has been SO popular! Make sure to check with @bagmakingbeesclub if you're interested in signing up for this month. 

Have a great week!

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!
