This is my first tutorial so please bear with me . I am a visual learner so there is many pictures for you to refer to in case I am not making myself very clear. I have a lot of trouble understanding patterns ......this is why I just figure it out and do it. :) I will post the pictures and explain as I go.
You will need just scraps of fabric for this project or if you prefer two 6 x 8 inch cuts will be plenty. I used steam a seam for stability. You will trace two templates 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 inch and the second template will have a little dip in center. You can draw the first one out and fold in half to make the curve . I cut my templates out of plastic as I intend to make many of these. Lay your template on top of steam and seam and trace pattern for both templates. Place the steam a seam onto the wrong side of the fabric you will use. (6 x 8 inch piece ) Steam in place with a pressing cloth or another piece of fabric over top. Cut these pieces out and peel off the backing of the steam a seam. Now lay these pieces onto the wrong side of second piece of fabric (6 x 8inch ) and steam together. Cut these out and you can top stitch the one with the dip if you like. Lay both pieces together and sew 1/4 inch seams down the sides and bottom and back up the other side and you are done !! Trim to 1/8 inch and fill with a gift card. drawing pattern onto steam a seam [ATTACH=CONFIG]81370[/ATTACH] Place steam a seam onto fabric and press and cut out and remove backing [ATTACH=CONFIG]81373[/ATTACH] Press the pieces to the second fabric and cut out [ATTACH=CONFIG]81374[/ATTACH] Top stitch along piece withe the dip and place together to sew up side, bottom and side [ATTACH=CONFIG]81375[/ATTACH] Fill with a gift card [ATTACH=CONFIG]81376[/ATTACH] Make several in different themes for your friends and family [ATTACH=CONFIG]81377[/ATTACH] |

We give our 14 yr old grand daughter money each wk for her main Christmas gift and we had a gift card envelope that we fill and hand to her and she hands it back to us for the next wk...lol this would be nice for that... thanks for sharing |
ah at 14 they love that :)>> mine is just almost 2 so we been doing bonds for every occassion.. for a college fund later ;) but once she figures out money I am sure we will be handing out too;)
