Owl Wristlets

As soon as I posted pictures of the owl wristlet I made in August, Cherri asked me to make a couple for her girls for Christmas. Sally got orange and blue:

And Hannah got purple and green:

I failed to take pictures of the inside of them (you can see one here). These wristlets are made completely with the embroidery machine (with the exception of one small opening I had to whip stitch shut by hand). They have a zipper, and are completely lined with no exposed seams. Cool huh?? The design is from Embroidery Garden.

My first wristlet!

Having a 6x10 hoop has now thrown open the door to in-hoop designs. I know several exist for the 5x7 hoop, but I have done my best to ignore them thus far. But Embroidery Garden released a cute new Owl Wristlet last week that I just had to try. :)

This was made completely in my embroidery machine (with the exception of one small opening I had to whip stitch shut by hand). It has a zipper, and is completely lined with no exposed seams.

 Reen is a genius to figure out how to create the embroidery file to do this, and her directions were flawless!  I'm pleased with my first attempt at these little bags, and see more in my future. Especially since I know Annaliese will want one as soon as she sees it after school. :)
