MEL's Okily Dokily Collection
A gorgeous collection to add more personality in every room of your home through beautiful motifs and machine embroidery.
MEL's Okily Dokily Collection, the August 2021 Bag of the Month from MEL's Bag of the Month Club, is an entire collection to add more fun, personality, and machine embroidery in all areas of your life! MEL's Okily Dokily Bag is a chic 7.5" diameter circular bag perfect for dressing up or dressing down! With gorgeous embroidery on both sides and two strap options to transform it from a tote to a shoulder bag, there's always a perfect occasion to use this beautiful bag!
MEL's Okily Dokily Collection got its name from something MEL says a lot. Instead of "okay", it's "okily dokily" - injecting a little fun and personality into an ordinary everyday saying. And that's just what this collection does!
From the Okily Dokily Bag and Quilt to the Oven Mitt and Jumbo Pillow, you won't be short on ideas to add more personality to your daily life!
The contemporary circles and gorgeous machine embroidery transform an ordinary bag into something extraordinary. Dress it up or dress it down, you'll love carrying this bag with you everywhere.
The Okily Dokliy Bag is a 7.5" diameter circle and 3" deep. It has two straps - use it as a tote or a shoulder bag. With the gorgeous embroidery on the front and back, you'll be so proud to say "I made this!"
Keep the fun going with the Okily Dokily Quilt, Oven Mitt, and Jumbo Pillow! These projects are a great way to get the most out of these designs and feature your favorite fabrics all over your home.
Make a themed gift basket full of Okily Dokily creations for a friend, send a quilt in their favorite colors home with a grandchild who needs a reminder of your love, and more. These projects are perfectly enjoyable and giftable!
The Okily Dokily Quilt is 8" blocks set on-point, 46" x 57" (or however big you'd like to make it!)
The Okily Dokily Jumbo Pillow uses the same 8" blocks and is 24" with a 2.5" flange to make a 26" pillow insert fit perfectly.
The Okily Dokily Oven Mitt is an 8" diameter circle with a pocket for your hand, to keep it completely protected when you're in the kitchen!

I have made all of them except the shopping bag but I love all of them! I have learned so much. I had never made a purse before MEL's Bag of the Month Club but I won't be stopping now!!
