Sparkle Bags!

Bags, Tutorials - Apr. 06, 2018 - Jessica OklaRoots

My love for boxy bags has gone to a whole new level today. Introducing, sparkly boxy bags!!!

:: applause :: :: cheers :: :: the crowd goes WILD ::

More...

These beauties were such fun to make. Each measures 4 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 8 inches deep. 

I stuck with my favorite tutorial by Kelby from KelbySews. 

The sparkly vinyl comes from Sara at SewSweetness.  You can purchase some of this awesome glitter vinyl from her shop right here.  Go ahead and get at least one of each color.  I won't judge. 

All of my zippers come from ZipIt. 

To see a tutorial (and use a calculator!) on how to create the two toned bag check out this post!

Taking these babies out for a walk! Say "Hi" to my husband, who always gets suckered in to taking pictures of me with my sewing projects!

    Hello Jess!
    I discovered your YT channel at the begining of February, and I have completely fell ibn love with all your faboulous projects! I ended up buying a sewing machine, Brother CS7000i, and watching your instructions, I have been able to complete 3 projects! Thank you!!
    I do have a question, regarding the materials used in your sparkly boxy bags, which I LOVE!! I am making one for my mom for mother’s day; I have everything but the SF101. It’s either sold out , or extremely expensive, or it will take forever to arrive due to the quarantine. I do have Heat n Bond Light. Will that be a comparable material to use? I am still very confused at all the types of interfacing that are available, so any help you can give me on this one will be greatly appreciated! The bag will be this beautiful cotton fabric with indigo blue roses outlined in gold that I found at JoAnn’s, with Sky Blue faux leather for the bottom.
    Take care, and I look forward to more of your videos!

    Dear Jess,

    I made the boxy bag, but something went wrong at the inside bags. I want to know what went wrong. Can I send you a picture?. Maybe you can explain it? I want to make another and then I know what to do. I found you on youtube,. Your tutorials are great!!!!

I’m using toys as bag inspiration once again this week! We’re making the Lii Hobo Bag from @missfrecklesdesign and when I tell you that you’re going to love this bag… I mean it. I’ll put money on it… 

ok, I can’t do that, but take my word! This is your new bag you can wear anywhere and everywhere.

I hope you’ve had fun playing around with these ideas lately! We’ll be moving on to some other inspiring designs next, but maybe we can circle back to these cuties before the holidays 😉.

Don’t forget to use code OKLAROOTS10 for a discount when buying the pattern, available for a limited time!

Love them or hate them, it’s hard to deny that t Love them or hate them, it’s hard to deny that they sure have some nice color combinations. Today’s tutorial was inspired by Labubus!

Seriously. Just go with it 🫠

This week we’re making the ADORABLE mini crossbody that’s part of @kandoucrafts latest pattern , the Trio Bag Pattern. And as the name implies, there are actually 3 PATTERNS in one here. I cannot wait to try the other two.

Don’t forget to use code ORTRIO825 for a discount when you snag it! 

Which version would you start with? The mini? Camera bag? Waist bag??

Coming next Monday! The Mini Crossbody Bag tutoria Coming next Monday! The Mini Crossbody Bag tutorial inspired by a Labubu!! (With so many places to put your Mini Monster)

That’s right. We look wherever we can for inspiration around here. Labubus have taken over my home, so I figured I mine as well make them some bags.

We’ll be going over the Mini Crossbody Bag from the @kandoucrafts latest Trio Bag Pattern next Monday, August 18th. 

Want a coupon for the pattern? You got it! Use code ORTRIO825 for a discount on @kandoucrafts Etsy shop!

I am loving this mini iron from @meissnersewingandvacuum , which makes prepping material on my sewing table so quick. If you grab one, make sure to use code OKLAROOTS10 for a discount. 

Labubu is from the Big Into Energy series from @popmart

A gorgeous bag with the most beautiful material! T A gorgeous bag with the most beautiful material! Today’s tutorial is going over the Irene Crossbody from @loveyousewpatterns ! 

This bag design is so smart and chic, with just enough space for you must haves. A perfect companion when traveling!

And the material for this bag… you guys… it’s the best. The bonded nylon on the exterior, the nylon on the interior, the black hardware and the CUSTOM TAG 🤯🔥 It’s all so good and it’s all part of August’s @bagmakingbeesclub box! 

Who’s making one this month??

The prettiest way to organize all your goodies as The prettiest way to organize all your goodies as we finish up summer break: The Sewfisticated Planner from @sewfisticatedsg . It’s such a fun and quick make! The planner has lots of slip pockets to keep all your small bits in place, as well as a clear zipper pocket and a book sleeve. This pattern comes in 3 sizes. In the tutorial we’re making the medium (Classic) size, which is most perfect for my small notebook and crafty items.

All the material for this week’s video comes from the most recent @bagmakingbeesclub Babe Box, which is focused on beginners. You’re going to have lots of waxed canvas left over, so hold onto that for future projects. If you’re new to waxed canvas, pattern modifications, or managing multiple layers, then this week’s video is for you.

I hope you love making this like I do!

Have a great week friends ❤️

This beauty was gifted to me by Jayde @heartwoodandhide_co and is the PERFECT organizer for my most used tags. I keep it right next to my machine and love having easy access to personalize my bag.
