ITH Card Wallet – Single & Multi-Needle Project

July 20, 2021July 20, 20217 Comments

A while back my daughter came to town and she had the cutest little card wallet that was just big enough to hold a couple of credit cards and a driver’s license. It was just the perfect size.

As I am sure many of you can relate, with 2 littles, she often doesn’t want to carry a purse on top of all the other “kid stuff” she has to tote around. So, this little card wallet is perfect for her to make a quick trip to the store, or go to a ballgame or even the gym.

It’s big enough to carry a credit card or two, your license and keys. I decided that between my two embroidery machines, my Ricoma Multi-needle and/or my Janome 550E single needle, surely I could create something similar. I did just that! I made not one, but two different versions of this simple little wallet.

Want to know the best part? I am sharing the embroidery files with you! If you have an embroidery machine with a 4 x 4 hoop you can make the version below.

If you have a machine that can stitch 5 x 7 you can make either the eyelet version above or this snap tab version

I think they are equally adorable! Don’t be afraid to mix up the patterns, materials, etc. The vinyl I used can be found HERE (note: it’s not always in stock, so when you see it, grab it!) I think cork makes a really cute card wallet as well. There are endless varieties of vinyl styles. I can’t wait to see what you choose.

I have included step by step instructions in the video tutorial below. I stitched on both my multi-needle and my single needle in the video. Remember, just because I may use a multi-needle in my videos, as long as you have a hoop of similiar size, you can create the same projects on a single needle machine.

If you’re interested in the Ricoma, please use this link to save you up to $100. They are running a special right now with FREE SHIPPING. That is a big deal, as these machines come to your door step in a semi trailor. You will want that FREE SHIPPING! 🙂

Vaccination Card / ID Holder – FREE PATTERN (Cricut & PDF) Easy Beginner Sewing Project

June 2, 2021Leave a comment

I wanted to create a very simple card holder to put my recent vaccination card in. I designed this very easy, but practical solution. I used my Cricut to cut out the faux leather and felt. If you don’t have a Cricut, keep reading, I’ve got a solution for you.

When I was designing the ID Pouch I wanted something that I could easily clip to a lanyard, my keychain or wherever I might need to show my proof of vaccination. A simple swivel clip made it so that I could easily add and remove it when necessary. I also wanted to be sure it would be secure in the pouch, so I added a simple Kam Snap.

I have a Cricut Design Space file to share with you. If you have a Cricut, you can get the Design Space file by clicking HERE. No Cricut? No worries, grab the PDF file HERE. It’s super easy to cut by hand.

If you have an embroidery machine, I’ve got an In the Hoop Version coming right after this tutorial… stay tuned. It’s so cute!

Custom Hand Sanitizer Holders with your Cricut

March 30, 2021Leave a comment

Today, we are making custom hand sanitizer holders with the Cricut Maker. You can use the Cricut Explore or Silhouette as well. These little cuties are pretty easy to make. All you need is an image and the handy dandy new offset tool in Cricut Design Space and you’ll be making holders in no time flat.

These are just a few of the designs I created using images right in Design Space. If you’re a Patreon Member, you can have my Design Space file, but if not, just watch this quick tutorial and you can create your very own unique hand sanitizer holders.

Let’s get started….

MAKER Hand Santizer Holder

February 15, 2021Leave a comment

Can I just say that Bright COLORS make me happy. I knew when I designed this MAKER Hand Sanitizer Holder embroidery file that I needed color. I needed happy, spring and vibrant colors.

I created these cutie patooties in the Chroma Luxe software. They are so simple to stitch out on any multi-needle or single-needle embroidery machine. I will be using the Ricoma EM1010 multi-needle in my tutorial below. If you are using a single-needle the steps are the same, you’ll just be stopping to switch threads.

I think these would be super cute to take to your next crafting get together or to gift to your fellow MAKERS.

In today’s tutorial I will be showing you how to use the FRAME OUT feature on the Ricoma. It works really well if you need to stop occasionally during a stitch out, but not after each step.

Watch the video to find out how you can get the FREE embroidery file to create your very own Maker Hand Sanitizer Holder.

In The Hoop Valentine Coasters – FREE Embroidery Designs!

January 10, 20211 Comment

Valentines Day is right around the corner. I cannot even believe I just said that! I don’t do a lot of decorating or a lot of Valentine crafting, but I wanted to make a little something to make it feel like Valentines.

These are so quick and so easy to make! I am just learning to digitize with the Chroma Luxe Software. I was excited to be able to create four simple designs with very little effort. I will be sharing more digitizing tutorials soon.

I love how simply changing the fabric from cork to vinyl and changing the thread colors make each set unique. This set of coasters could really be used any time of the year. They are very affordable to make, easy to store and let’s face it, you can just toss them and make a new set if they get overly used.

I have included several formats of embroidery patterns for you to make a set or two of your own. I would love it if you make them and tag me on social media. It’s always fun to see others making something I created and I enjoy seeing how each of you make it your own. You can get the FREE DOWNLOAD here.

As for assembly instructions, I will walk you through the steps on my Ricoma EM1010 Multi-needle machine, but if you have a single needle, don’t worry because the steps are exactly the same. Let’s get started.

Let’s make a Tortilla Warmer!

January 5, 2021Leave a comment

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve made a sewing video. Today, I wanted to share this really easy tortilla warmer. This is a beginner sewing friendly tutorial. You will need four pieces of 12 x 12 cotton fabric and 2 pieces of 12 x 12 cotton batting to assemble this project.

If you’ve never used a tortilla warmer you might be wondering how this works. You simply add your tortillas (as many as you like) to the inside, pop it in the microwave and warm it for about 30 seconds-1 minute. If you prefer to heat your tortilla on the stove, just add them to the warmer after you’ve heated them and they will stay nice and warm until you’re ready to use them.

If you have a Cricut Maker you can use this Design Space file to cut all of your fabric and batting. If you have a Cricut Explore use the same file, but just cut 1 circle out of cardstock to use as your pattern. No Cricut? No worries, use this FREE PDF pattern to create your circles.

I have a step by step tutorial to walk you through the assembly.

Fabric Embroidered Coasters – A quick and easy gift idea for any embroidery enthusiast / FREE EMBROIDERY FILES INCLUDED.

December 7, 2020December 7, 2020Leave a comment

I wanted a quick and easy, but unique gift idea for those who I like to give, what I call, an appreciation gift. The delivery people, the lady at the post office to patiently weighs my packages, the friendly worker at McDonald’s (who knows me by name because of my continuous “Large Diet Coke” orders), and my favorite check out person at the grocery.

I came up with this fun little project that literally took me about 20 minutes start to finish to make the entire set. It’s really easy create custom embroidery files when you have the Chroma Software that comes with every Ricoma Embroidery Machine. If you don’t have the software, don’t worry, You can get the embroidery files here. I sized the file so that they can be sewn with a 4 x 4 single needle machine all the way up to an industrial multi-needle machine. They are really quick because you really only need one thread color.

Don’t they look cute all packaged up with a simple little ribbon. I think they would be a great gift just like this, but you could also step it up and add a coffee mug, starbucks gift card or something a little extra.

Here is a step by step tutorial. Are you going to make a set? Who will be the lucky recipient? Let me know in the comments. Happy Embroidering 🙂

Drawstring Pouch

I am back with another beginner-friendly sewing project. This drawstring bag is a great staple pattern to have in your sewing arsenal. It is so versatile.

This pattern can be adapted to any size you need. It is great to be used as a reuseable gift bag, candy bag, gym bag even a mask bag. I keep one in my car to keep clean masks in and another for dirty masks.

Hooded Towel / Poncho Tutorial

July 12, 2020Leave a comment

Hello there and thanks for being here. I have had this tutorial ready to go for awhile now, but I had to wait for these two stinkers to come to town so that I could take a photo or two… or ten.

Ace and Evie are starting swimming lessons. I thought this would be a perfect solution to help them remember their towel, to stay warm and dry in the car and their mom won’t have to carry everything.

They are so easy to make! The kids thought they were pretty cool in their “Capes”.

I was going to step it up a notch and add pom poms, but I was afraid with regular washing they wouldn’t hold up, but you could totally add decorative ribbon or or use towels with decorative edging.

Would you believe these are super easy and beginner sewing friendy to make? They only take a few items to make and you probably already have everything you need at home.

Watch my step by step tutorial below. If you make them, I would love it if you would join my Facebook Groups and Post a photo and/or tag me on Instagram when you post a pic.

ID / Badge Holder – FREE Pattern and Tutorial – Beginner Friendly

May 31, 20206 Comments

I finally got to see my son and daughter-in-law this past weekend. It had been months and I was certainly happy to see their sweet, smiling faces! Maggie, asked me if I could create an ID tag for her to put her work ID in and attach to her key chain. Of course, I obliged and quickly went to work on a very simple pattern.

She requested a verticle tag since it was going to be hanging from her key chain. I whipped up a super simple tag on my embroidery machine, but I was afraid she’d lose her ID and anything else she put in it. I decided to create a new pattern with a bit more protection.

This is what I came up with and I am thrilled with it. It is still super simple and takes very little product, but it’s ultimately safer and, lets face it, prettier. I love that it can be made either vertically and horizontally, depending on your needs. I also like the lobster clasp attachment which can easily be attached to a lanyard, backpack or keychain.

If you have a Cricut or other digital die cutting machine that can cut fabric with an SVG, this project is going to be super simple for you, because I made an SVG. You can get it by clicking HERE. No Cricut, no worries, you can grab the printable PDF pattern by clicking HERE. Be sure when printing that you print at actual size and not scaled. There is a guide at the top of each page to measure and make sure you printed it correctly. When downloading the ZIP file for your digital die cutting machine, be sure and double click the ZIP file to open it and then upload the file ending in .SVG.

Enough of the small talk, let’s start making ID tags! Be sure and tag me on social media if you make them. Join my Facebook Groups and post photos! I love it see them!

Here is the step by step video tutorial:
