Please note:  The Softie doll is not included in this set.  

I just love today's Pocket Wrap set!  I love it so much I had to include bonus matching appliques (included with this set)!  I have no babies to sew for as of yet.... but one day there will be grandchildren!

The Little Lamb Pocket Wrap design can be made to fit almost any size box of candy or a variety of other things including rolled up baby blankets, baby powder, baby shampoo, etc!  It slips onto the item with an elastic band to hold it securely in place.  A gift card (for diapers!), baby booties or other baby items or a few dollars can be inserted into the pocket for a fun, inexpensive baby gift. A fun presentation that is great for baby showers!

 

Each  Little Lamb Pocket Wrap is made completely in one hooping with no other sewing required.  It includes both a 4x4 version and a 5x7 version.\

Also included in this set are matching 4x4 and 5x7 sheep appliques ready to be stitched on baby blanket, onesies, etc!

$12.00

Little Lamb  Pocket Wrap Instructions

 

 

 

NOTE:  The 6" elastic will fit most standard movie candy sized boxes or a container of baby powder.  It can be lengthened or shortened though to accomodate any size box or other items.

1. Hoop one layer of stabilizer.

Stitch first color (pocket wrap fabric placement outline).

Cut 2 5x9" pieces of fabric and fold in half and press so they are 5x4.5".

Place one piece of folded fabric on top of wrap outline so folded edge is even with top horizontal straight stitching line.

Stitch second color to secure.

2. Stitch third color (Lamb legs, head, tail).

Stitch fourth color (lamb body fabric placement outline).

Place a piece of fabric on top of outline, covering completely.

Stitch fifth color to secure.

Trim fabric as closely as possible to lamb outline being careful not to cut stitching or fabric underneath.

Stitch sixth color (lamb satin stitching).

Stitch seventh color (lamb ear).

3.  Stitch 8th color (elastic placement outline).

Cut a 6" piece of 1 inch wide elastic.

Place one end of elastic centered over left hand elastic placement outline so approximately 1/4" of elastic extends outside design and remainder of elastic is inside design.

Stitch 9th color to secure.

4/ Repeat with other end of elastic on right hand side.

Tape elastic securely down INSIDE design perimeters (it can be folded over itself in the center so it fits) so presser foot does not become entangled  in future steps.

Stitch 10th color to secure.

5.  Place second piece of folded fabric on top of design so folded edge is even with previously placed folded edge.

Stitch final color to secure.

Remove from hoop. Trim around perimeter of design leaving approximately 1/4" seam allowance.  Trim excess stabilizer from opening of pocket.

Turn right side out.  Slip over item and fill pocket.

You're finished!
