How to make an ITH Snaptab (Key Fob- Key Ring)

Hey gang! Tonight we shot a live video in our Facebook group.  If you are a member you can re-watch it HERE.  If not scroll down to our YouTube link to the video.  We discussed how to make an in the hoop (ITH) snaptab.  Also known as key chain or key fob.  In the hoop items are super popular and sell very well at craft shows and are just super rad gifts!!!

Tonight we ran two designs.  First up we ran the Seashell snaptab.  A simple design and versatile for the summer. 

Our second design was one of our very popular filled mermaid snaptab.  A touch different then the first, but just as simple to make.

Make it Monday- First Birthdays

First birthdays are so special.  I know we went all out to celebrate and decorate for that matter.  You can find Parker's photos HERE.  A friend of mine asked me to create a banner, a bib and a crown for her little girl Molly.  Her theme was under the sea.  I totally love it!  You can grab the pieces singly or as a bundle.  Check them out HERE.

Make it Monday- Coachella Shorts in Military Max

Camo Shorts & Shirt, by Jen Chesnick.

Who says boys get to have all the camo fun? Max was one of my favorite paper lines, so I was equally as thrilled to see it come to life in fabric. My daughter LOVED the camo prints. I recently bought the Coachella Shorts pattern and knew it would be perfect for the design.  

I made bias tape from the skull fabric instead of using a trim. Pom Pom trim would also look pretty cool on them! 

For this shirt I merged two applique designs, Love For Boys & Military Patch(both from Planet Applique), to create the final Love Patch pattern. It's a perfect little outfit for play!

Supplies:Bella Blvd Military Max fabric by Riley Blake Designs, Elastic, Bias Tape or Trims, Heat N Bond Lite, Medium Cut Away Stabilizer, Wash-away Stabilizer, Embroidery Machine, Notions

Make it Monday- Deco Doil Boot Spurs & a Tilly Top

Hey gang I have another fun embroidery project using the new iCraft® Deco Foils™.I received some beautiful fabric from the folks at Blend Fabrics and I knew exactly what I was going to do.  I found THIS machine embroidery file by Sevens Emporium.  How cute are these spurs?  A lot of her designs are western themed and are perfect to go along with the Luckie fabric.

I used a tried and true favorite pattern of mine for my daughters top, you may even recognize it.  It’s theTilly by Brownie Goose and has been here a few times.  I modified it again to have an open back with sash closure.  Perfect for anytime of year and it pairs perfectly with her Lily Ruffler bottoms.

To create the spurs I followed the instructions in the design.  I used the same technique from myprevious post to apply the iCraft® Deco Foil™ to wool felt. If you look through Sevens Emporiums designs there are a few I think would be fantastic childrens party favors.  Gold Sheriffs badges come to mind!

Supplies Used:  

iCraft® Deco Foil™ in Gold
Spray N Bond®
Heat N Bond® Lite

Make it Monday- Ice Queen applique jacket

Good Monday gang!  I have a little princess to share today.  For Christmas I made Parker an Ice Queen applique jacket.  I ordered the jacket from Amazon and added the design to the hood.  She was the first I made and I have made a few since.  You can find the hoodie version in the Parker on the Porch store.  Pics below.
