Binky Bib Bugs

By Bonnie

How many times has a pacifier hit the ground in the park, fallen out of the cart in a shopping cart, or ick! fallen on a restroom floor somewhere?

Bonnie has created a very unique set which will be a necessity for all moms with babies!

With this design and a purchased (or homemade!) bib, you can create the perfect holder for a pacifier and it will be one-of-a-kind!

So, find a bib, some ribbon and your thread and head to your embroidery machine!  Why not make one for each day of the week?

You can see the set here:  http://www.designsbysick.com/details/bb

Supplies:

• Thread of your choice
• Med. Tear-a-way (if stitching on a fabric that stretches use cut-a-way)
• Water soluble topping (if fabric has a nap like terri)
• Gross Grain Ribbon or ribbon made from fabric of your choice not less than ½” wide.
• Cut ribbon 16”-18” long

Directions:

Hoop your stabilizer and fabric – if using fabric with a nap do not hoop the fabric only the stabilizer, use the method you like best to secure the fabric on top of hooped stabilizer such as using temp spray or a basting stitch, then add the topping if needed.

STEP 1
Stitch first CC – this will do a placement stitch for the ribbon as pictured below.

Next place ribbon over top of stitching, you can add a piece of tap to hold it in place if you like.

Next stitch CC 2, this will tack down ribbon in place.

Now continue following color chart to stitch the bug!
To finish off the ribbon, hem the bottom edge by folding up the end and using a zig-zag or satin stitch over the raw edge, then add one part of snap on the end and measure up about 3” to add the other part of the snap then attach the binky by putting ribbon through the handle and snapping close the ribbon around it.

Enjoy!
