The 4x4 Button On Ginger Panel is the final design in the Dollar Days Nine series.  Thank you to everyone who preordered this series!

Button On Panels are interchangeable panels that are made entirely in the hoop!  Simply sew four buttons to your little one's favorite shirt, jumper, jonjon, jacket, or tote.  Then you can simply button on a new panel to match every occasion!  Once your child has outgrown the clothing, just add buttons onto a new larger garment and all of those panels are still useable!

Add several button groupings to overalls to add embroidery panels to those hard to embroider spots!  The possibilities are endless!

These Button On Panels are made ENTIRELY IN THE HOOP!  The only additional work necessary is to sew four buttons onto the garment of your choice!

Ginger Button On Panel Pictorial

An In The Hoop Project

Needed:  Tearaway stabilizer, 2 pieces of 6x6 fabric.

The Button on Panel is a very easy first time In The Hoop project!

1.  Hoop 2 layers of  a heavy tearaway or wss stabilizer. 

Stitch first color (fabric placement outline).

2.  Center your fabric on your stabilizer covering outline completely and secure if desired (I just float mine and do not pin).

3.  Stitch second color to secure.

4.  Float the second piece of fabric under neath the hoop, making certain design is completely covered.  The right side of the fabric should be facing down.  Stitch third color.

5.  Remove your hoop from the sewing machine but do NOT remove the fabric from the hoop!  Remove the pins and very carefully trim away the fabric as close to the stitching as you can. DO NOT cut the stabilizer.  Some people prefer to use tiny curved embroidery scissors for this and others prefer duckbill applique scissors.  I like to use the embroidery scissors.

6.  Flip the hoop over, and again trim away the fabric on the back as close to the stitching as you can.  AGAIN, DO NOT cut the stabilizer.  You will now have a square of fabric on the front and the back of your stabilizer.

7.  Replace your hoop on your machine. Stitch the fourth color (satin stitching and buttonholes).

Stitch fifth color (ginger fabric placement outline).

Cover outline completely with a piece of fabric.

Stitch sixth color to secure.

Trim fabric as close to ginger outline as possible being careful not to cut stitching or fabric underneath.

Stitch seventh color (ginger satin stitching).

Stitch eighth color (icing and nose).

Stitch ninth color (red on peppermint nose).

Stitch tenth color (cheeks).

Stitch 11th color (eyes, mouth).

  Once finished, carefully tear away/wash away the stabilizer.  Gently cut open the buttonholes by cutting a slit in each using a seam ripper (CAREFULLY) or small scissors.

8.  Lay the completed panel on your garment and use a pencil to mark a dot inside the center of each buttonhole onto your garment.  It doesn't matter if the pencil washes out as you will sew the button on top of it. :)  Sew on your four buttons and you are finished!
