@@TheCreativeObsession I was thinking of a blank paper notecard. Could you create a cloth front cover for it like your postcard? I was also considering a different way to do the edging, before you adhere it to the paper card.
@Susan Flajnik I wouldn't use paper because the satin stitch that keeps the fabric from fraying, would perforate the paper and it wouldn't stay together. You could do a decorative stitch around the border of the fabric, but you still need the satin stitch edging for it to hold up in the mail.
You need the postcards to be stiff so they can go through the postal machines. Muslin wouldn't be enough to stiffen it. It's great to use on the backside to write on though.
Fun to see this, they were all the rage in the 90’s! Thank you!
I made some many years ago. I had to check with my post office to see if they'd still take them.
Those are super cute, Carrie! ❤️
You have the neatest ideas!
My mind never stops!
You’re so clever-as always! 😊
Cool technique! And a great excuse to build a fabric stash
Like we need sn excuse?! 😅
Those are awesome!
Thank you! They're fun to make too.
@@TheCreativeObsession I see that! I think I am going to have to make some! I think I am going to be obsessed with this!🤣
Excellent tutorial Carrie. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you. 🇬🇧
Thank you! Can these be mailed in the UK?
Fun! Now I want to make and send to my entire quilt group!! 🐝
Do it! There's still time. 😉
Brilliant ❤️❤️
Carie! This was a great tutorial. I never heard of "fabric postcards" before watching! I love this idea! :) 🎁
They're quite fun to make!
Really enjoyed this Carrie! Have you made note cards this way? How would you do the edge stitching?
I don't know what you mean by note cards. Enlighten me!

@@TheCreativeObsession thank you!
This looks “sew” fun😉. Am I understanding correctly that one can use Peltex #70 as a foundation to which I can sew fabric. Would muslin work as well?
