    You can send them in regular mail but they require a regular stamp not postcard stamp and you need to have them hand cancelled...I put mine into envelopes since I am concerned about them getting soiled and I have been adding lollipop or stickers also

    Gosh those are cute! What a treasure for your grandaughter to collect. I've wanted to make fabric postcards for a long time. Yours have given me the inspiration to give it a go again!

    Hi Sue, your local granddaughters might those left on their doorsteps. Although, since you are a neat Grandma I bet you already do very special things for them. ;)
