Key Fob Wristlet Sewing Tutorial

[@suusanne89]

I just started sewing. And I found your channel, and I gotta say. You're a breath of fresh air. Everyone on social media shows a "how to" in like 15 seconds and that doesn't work with no experience. You explain things amazing and slow so I can follow all the steps and make amazing stuff. Thank you 😙

[@staceyleecreative]

That's awesome - I am glad you like my style. Please do check out my other videos 🙏 Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment - I really appreciate it! 😊

[@dreamerfourkay769]

Excellent! I too have OCD and this look is what I have been trying to achieve. I never would have thought of this technique. Thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

Wonderful! I’m glad it was helpful! ❤️

[@Mabelthedog-u7i]

I think your attention to detail, or OCD as you say, is what makes you such a fantastic teacher. And with such a quick project, I’m excited to do it the way you showed to make it extra nice and symmetrical for my loved ones. ❤

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you for such a sweet comment! You're right - those little details really make our handmade gifts special and professional-looking. Happy Sewing 🌟 ✨

[@sarajohnson8842]

Another great tutorial, thanks! I ordered my hardware and am looking forward to making a bunch of these with some cute scraps.

[@staceyleecreative]

So exciting Sara - you are going to have a lot of fun making these! Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment, I appreciate your support ☺️

[@sherrypace8980]

Me too! Amazon delivering hardware on Saturday…😊

[@Sumi-mh8pm]

It's really easy to understand and helpful. Thank you 🥰

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome - thanks so much for watching! ❤️

[@bethannekayoneil7385]

Yes, the smell is something that reminds me of a horse after a race....once upon a time I was a Standardbred racehorse groom. Every time I use the mat I take a trip down memory lane usually in a flash. My horses were Airborne Mary, Trebol Pam, and Irish Champ...that was a lone time ago...

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks for sharing your memory with me Bethanne, my mom worked with racehorses too when she was young, she always loved horses and had a miniature pony, the kids called her Nana Horsey 😊

[@kimhernandez6303]

This is a cute idea. Great for stocking stuffers, teacher thank you gifts or so many other gift ideas! Thank you 😊 Stacey and Niels!

Thanks so much Kim - yes they are awesome gift ideas 🤗

[@teeh917]

Hello everyone. 😃 I love this make and I love that you're OCD too. 😆 I'm so OCD it's ridiculous... But every now and then it comes in handy. I'll order the hardware you suggested and get started on future gifts. This will make a great stash buster too. Thank you for sharing this make with us, Stacey. 🌺

Thank you so much for this fab tutorial, I just completed my first 2 wristlets following step by step and they turned out brilliantly, so happy. Just subscribed. Merry Christmas x

[@staceyleecreative]

Awesome! That’s so cool! Thanks so much for subscribing 🤗

[@IMOO1896]

I love the left orientated “foot” for 1/8”

[@staceyleecreative]

Yay! Me too 🤗

[@cherylsanders2753]

Excellent tutorial. A very creative & practical gift idea. Thanks for sharing!!! 🤩

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much Cheryl! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 🤗

[@debbiehochachka6139]

Thanks Stacy for another great video. My wool mat had a odour too, I took a bounce sheet and rubbed my mat then put in dryer on NO HEAT SETTING for 5 mins and the smell is gone.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks Debbie for sharing your tip to get rid of the smell 🤗

[@mariscorikschannel4061]

Thanks for sharing this new idea.. I will do it soon to make it money.. More power sis. Thumbs for you..

[@staceyleecreative]

Welcome 😊

[@tamarakarlin2758]

Great tutorial, thank you Stacey. Like the tip using the Mod Podge on the edge & the left compensating foot. I have the the right & left compensating feet for my TL18 & need to try them.

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad it was helpful! Please do try the compensating feet, they are a game changer 🤗

[@clombard7134]

Hi Stacey! Nicely done! BTW: I don't mind the smell of the wool mat, as long as it does not impart the smell to my fabric which is does not. I know people who iron a dryer sheet over it every once in a while. That method also cleans the bottom of the iron. Two tasks done at one time!

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi! That’s a great tip thanks for sharing 🤗

[@Iamhome365]

Loved this video and so detailed!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the tutorial! If you haven’t already, please subscribe-I’m on my way to 70k! 🌟

[@katherinemedina5411]

This video is wonderful! I did find that I lost some width when I folded my fabric towards the middle, so I had to not fold as far in. Next time I may cut them 2 and 1/4 inches in width and see if that helps.

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes, just work out what works best for you! Thanks for watching ❤

[@cowgirlkea]

Thank you so much I just made one and love it

[@staceyleecreative]

Yay! I’m so glad you made one and love it! 😊 That’s awesome to hear! Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment, I really appreciate it! ❤

[@georgycolson9671]

Great tutorial...thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

You are so welcome! Thank you for watching 🤗

[@lynetterene]

Hi Stacey..... just found you today - 11/18/24.....though, I've made many many key fobs, in fact, I made one last night. I like the way you did it. Also, I must admit, sometimes I don't get the measurements correct for some reason 🤦🏾‍♀️. Thank you again and look forward to doing mine over 😊

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Lynette! 😊 I’m so glad you found me! No worries about the measurements-it happens to all of us sometimes! I’m sure your next key fob will turn out perfect. ❤️ Thank you for watching, and I’m excited for you to try it again! ✂️

[@pattitaylor8208]

Great project.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you Patti! 🤗

[@sasipan6683]

Super quick and easy Key Fob Wristlet - perfect gift idea to sew! 📌 Hardware Kit: amzn.to/3NKbgQb 📌 Left Compensating Foot: jukijunkies.com/product/compensating-foot-left-1-5mm?ref=staceylee

[@lauriepayseur5897]

You’ll be happy to know that mine doesn’t smell like anything anymore. I have two. Bought at the same time several years ago. Aired them outside during the day for several days when I got them… it faded significantly… and I just stitched a loop on one end and hung them when not in use to get as much airing as possible… that only lasted until we moved… but by then we were scent free. Hope this helps give other the confidence to purchase if they want it.

[@staceyleecreative]

Good to know Laurie! Thanks for letting me know 🤗

[@StellasScrappyCrafts]

good project to use up some jelly rolls

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes it is Stella 🤗

[@sherrypace8980]

Great idea!

[@melaniehale1721]

Great tutorial! I appreciate how you show all the steps in detail. I had a question: why not sew all the way around the rectangle? I assume it may not be necessary given the hardware - is that the reason?

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes, it’s not necessary, but you can if you want too.

[@patriciabrowning5741]

Great idea!

[@staceyleecreative]

Glad you think so! ❤ Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment - I really appreciate it! 🙏

[@cindyfrischer6136]

Love your video and it amazing. ❤

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much! I appreciate you watching my video and taking the time to leave a comment 😊

[@rosajimenez6481]

Love the videos. Can Heat Bond be used for this what’s the difference interfacing and heat bond?

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you, Rosa! 😊 No, I wouldn't use HeatnBond , because it is an adhesive product that fuses fabric layers together, while interfacing is typically used to add structure or stiffness to fabric. ❤️✂️

[@dollysadlak5242]

Love it❤ thanks 😊

[@staceyleecreative]

I'm glad you like it Dolly 🤗

[@michelleherman5298]

Love it!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much Michelle! I appreciate you watching my video 🤗

[@michelleherman5298]

Stacey, I made some key fobs for our church craft fair didn’t sell as many as I would have like to do you have any suggestions that would be helpful? I wanted to add something to it

[@latosa18]

Have you ever used a 1" Bias tape maker to make things go a little quicker? I love this tutorial but I also tend to be impatient. Im working on it lol

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, no sorry I haven't, but once you get stared this method doesn't take long at all 😊

[@IMOO1896]

Very neat

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you! Cheers! 🤗

[@latosa18]

The mustard yellow fabric is beautiful....it all is. Where can I find that fabric?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi there, I am sorry I am not sure what it is called, but I can tell you it is a Ruby Star Society fabric, which might help you track it down 😊

[@terryhenberger5031]

Excellent tutorial, thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

Thanks so much Terry! I appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment 😄

[@hollyrankin7373]

Hi there! Great tutorial. Can you tell me the exact iron interfacing that you used please? I'm seeing so many different kinds out there and I don't want to buy the wrong one. Thank you!!!

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I used SF101 Shape-Flex it’s great and goes on sale a lot at the big box stores

[@sodiestoner6074]

What kind of interfacing and fabric did you use for this?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I recommend using quilting cotton and it's Pellon SF101 Shape Flex 😊

[@shaniceleader2539]

can you do this without interfacing? im a complete beginner and want to try some smaller projects before i buy more supplies

[@staceyleecreative]

You can definitely try it without interfacing, but it won’t hold its shape as well. 😊

[@Cathy-o3k]

Is wonder under a good product to use for this project?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I haven't heard of that one before, but I am sure it would be fine 😊

[@lillyjane78]

It would be far easier to leave it 4" wide and just crease it in half, then bring the outsides to the center line. Still 1" wide when done without having to fight with the little 1/2" edges.

[@staceyleecreative]

You can make it however you like. I showed my preferred way 🤗

[@traceylogan8283]

Can u iron on the interface on a large piece of fabric then cut out them both out together??. I have a wooden template of the size I am making

[@staceyleecreative]

Sorry just getting to your comment now. Yes you could do that 😊

[@enjoytheridelovely]

Hi Stacey! Thank you for such a great tutorial! I made two and noticed some bubbling happening after I folded it to attach the keychain. Is this normal? Thank you!

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, I am not sure why thaat is happening. Perhaps the interfacing is pressed and attached properly? Or try pressing when you have finished.

[@kamskreations1127]

Please tell me where you got your iron❤

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi you can get it here: glnk.io/mzmmj/staceyleecreative

[@hannahjowers-u6e]

What tension did you use? I’m very new to sewing and the tension seems to be my biggest challenge so far.

[@staceyleecreative]

That depends solely on the sewing machine you are using. You should get some scrap fabric and sew on it until you are happy it is stitching correctly.

[@BrandyStarmer]

Can you use the hardware for a lanyard too?

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes absolutely! 😊

[@jebreagayle9318]

What is a good sewing machine

[@staceyleecreative]

I like Juki and the dealer Juki Junkies. This is the one I have: jukijunkies.com/product/juki-tl-2010q/ref/staceylee/

[@aaliyahcantu3980]

What is the white paper are you using!

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, it's Pellon Shape Flex SF101

[@smaseth8412]

Where did you get the pliers please?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi. They were part of my kit I got from Amazon. I put the link in the description and comments 🤗

[@kstorts7348]

Wool ironing mats will smell when you use steam because the mat gets damp.

[@staceyleecreative]

That makes sense 😀

[@saraykarennedean4344]

Where did you get that ruler?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, just from Amazon 😊

[@timekiayazzie7756]

What’s the white material called??

[@staceyleecreative]

It's single sided fusible interfacing. I used Pellon SF101.

[@audreygabaldon3550]

What brand iron is that

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi, it's Oliso: amzn.to/3y6yV7S

[@allison3132]

I kept thinking why doesn’t she just fold the fabric? .. hmm… She must be OCD about the sides, matching exactly or something 😂.. lol sure enough

[@staceyleecreative]

lol 😂 You guessed it 🤗

[@LaeSosa]

Great tutorial. You’ve explained it so well. Thank you for making this video.

[@staceyleecreative]

Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you found the tutorial helpful and easy to follow! ❤️
