April Showers Embroider Umbrella Tutorial

Materials:
Umbrella
Rubber Bands
Embroidery machine
Tear-away interfacing
embroidery design
Step 1: Take the cloth off the umbrella. Leave the threads as markers so you will know where to sew it back at the end of your project.
Step 2: Get your embroidery machine ready and select your embroidery design. I used tear away interfacing, at the end of your project you will be able to tear away the interfacing behind the embroidery design.
Step 3: With rubber bands tie together the frame. When embroidering the frame should be away from the hoop.
Step 4: Embroider the umbrella.
Step 5: Tear away the interfacing.
Step 6: Hand sew the frame back onto the frame.
Ta Da! You are Done!
Things I learned; You want to choose an embroidery design that is not high in stitch density.
Have fun!

Beautiful! Did you hoop the umbrella fabric? If not, did you use spray-on adhesive or how did you get it to stay on the stabilizer?

I did not hoop the umbrella fabric. I used the spray-on adhesive and held it down a little with my hands as the hoop began to move around.

Love the monogram. Thanks for the idea! I think I will hoop a sticky-back tear away stabilizer.

Sweet Coin Purse Tutorial for Teacher Gifts

This time of year is so special to me because I get to show my gratitude for all of the hard work that goes into teaching my daughters. I love to make handmade gifts and this year is no exception. Since money does not grow on trees around here, I looked at my stash (I keep my scraps in hat boxes ) and tried to see what I had a lot of; small zippers, trims, Peltex strips ( from making iPad cases ), fabric scraps and some hardware for key fobs. So I set to work.  Materials: Plastic multipurpose 5" Zipper  Fabric Scraps Lightweight interfacing 808 Pellon Trims (We clipped  key fobs  with 1.5" swivel hooks onto our coin purses . There are tons of tutorials on making key fobs .) Step 1: Print out the Coin Purse Template  PDF.  Cut 2 main fabric, cut 2 lining and 2 interfacing using the template.  Optional: Cut a 2"X2" square of your choice main fabric or lining. This strip of fabric is used to clip a key fob to your coin purse later....
