This padded slip case is made entirely in the hoop! Since no zipper is required, you probably have everything you need to make one already in your sewing room.

The collection has 11 front panel designs and 6 back panel designs. You can mix and match any front panel with any back panel for a huge range of combinations.

If you want a single hoop project, simply layer on the fabric as indicated in the instructions. For an embellished back, stitch the back panel first and attach it at the end of the second hooping for the front panel.

I use the denim on with the hook to carry my iPhone 6s attached to the belt loop of my jeans.

15 easy one-hoop designs to make a lined zippered bag with no exposed seams.

To finish, turn right side out and close the opening. Use thread colors suitable for your project. 5 different design patterns in 3 coordinated sizes. Includes patterns and full instructions.

There are many ways to construct an in-the-hoop zippered bag. This one is very basic, with quilted front panels. You will need to do some stitching or use a fusible product to close the seam where the project was turned.

Yes, there are ways to make a bag completely in the hoop with no final seam to close. Those require more fabric and when teaching ITH projects, it seems more confusing to students.

All 5 of these bags are made from the exact same design, just embellished differently.

The two in the back row have boxed bottoms to allow them to stand up. You can layer in extra trims at key points, which are all covered in the included instructions.

“Snap bags” use bits of carpenter’s metal tape rulers to cause the bag to snap just.

These bags are not fully completed in the hoop because the metal strips need to be inserted before the bag is fully stitched. You’ll need to finish these at the sewing machine.

What can you make with a free-standing applique circle? A lot of things if you’re as creative as Linda McGehee!

I teamed up with Linda McGehee to create this fun project collection you can whip up quickly with your embroidery machine.

Originally designed to make coasters, mug rugs, or cord managers using precut, double-sided, fusible interfacing, the Running in Circles Design Pack has limitless possibilities for appliqué or embroidery on garments, towels handbags, totes, ornaments, quilts, or table runners.

Use individually or place multiples on the project to create one of a kind designs. Experiment with different thread types such as variegated thread to make the design uniquely your own.

Six in-the-hoop quilted panels to make a glasses or phone case with a snap closure using a metal tape measure. The case is fully lined, with no exposed seams and resulting in a professionally constructed bag.

Warning: Finishing does require some quick and simple basic sewing. Why? Because you need to insert a metal tape measure, and I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to risk hitting that with my embroidery machine!

You’ll stitch one panel for the front and second for the back. Each of the 6 panel designs provides a different quilting motif: 4 glasses and two basic quilting. Mix and match as you choose!

Since the glasses designs are also quilting, or outline style, to get them filled in like the photo, you’ll need to color them somehow (paint, ink, colored pencil, glitter glue – your choice).

I started by enlarging Log Cabin 2 from Cabin Fever: Piecing in the Hoop.

For this mug rug, I had to shrink a coffee cup design I had. Because shrinking bean stitch designs doesn’t always work well, I added this revised version to the shop.

I used Adine Script to add all sorts of coffee-related terminology into the “logs.” (I just googled “coffee terminology when I ran out of ideas.) This actually took quite a while to find just the right length to fit the space without repeating any phrases.

Once I had all the lettering where I wanted it, I sequenced it to sew in an optimal matter, coloring all the text on the light logs dark and the text on the dark logs light. If I stitch this again, I’ll increase the contrast between the lettering and fabric colors because it’s actually quite hard to read.

The instructions for Cabin Fever call for piecing in the hoop onto the stabilizer. Instead, I hooped the backing fabric (face down) with a layer of batting on top and pieced onto that.

This resulted in quilting the layers together as I pieced. You’ll want to use a backing fabric with a busy print to camouflage the stitching.… Read the rest

For this project, I started by enlarging Log Cabin 2 from Cabin Fever: Piecing in the Hoop and then added Cupcake 6 Redwork (small) from Crazy for Cupcakes.

This project is designed to be stitched in a 5×7″ hoop. It’s not completely constructed in the hoop; you will need to do some sewing to assemble it.

The face flap can be stitched as a standalone project, which can be fully finished in the hoop.

This padded bag will fit a mini reader and my iPhone 6s (larger type mobile phone) will fit in the front belly pocket. It’s a snug fit and if you have a bulky case, yours may not fit.

This project is rather tricky to finish and you do need to have experience with sewing.

Only have a small hoop? No problem! You can still make in-the-hoop zippered projects in a 4×4″ sewing field.

This set has four complete projects: a ladybug, a soccer ball, a round, and a square mini zip. Each is quilted and embroidered on both sides and are perfect for holding change and keys or protecting your jump drives or software dongles.

I was inspired to make the ladybug when I had a recollection of a flexible plastic ladybug coin purse from when I was a kid. You probably know the kind—an oval shape with a slit down the middle that you squeeze to open.

In-the-hoop projects like these are basically an applique technique. Placement lines are stitched and you layer various elements according to the instructions. To have both an embroidered back and front means that these are not single hoop projects.

After the final stitching, remove the project from the hoop, trim off any excess fabric, and turn right side out. You’re done!

Yes, you can make your embroidery machine do basic sewing! It can even insert zippers.

This in-the-hoop sewing organizer can be completed entirely in the hoop. Or, customize it with some finishes that require a sewing machine to complete.

The more densely quilted version is a little more difficult to turn so it can be finished with a bound edge. Buttons and button loops also require a bit more machine and handwork but if you can sew a straight stitch, they’re quite easy.

This organizer is a fold-over style with pockets and zippers on the inside and a quilted exterior. Two hoopings are required to complete the project.
