So the SGSG (Sewing Gals Sewcial Group) got together last week and found out that we had a friend with some health concerns. Patty brought up the great idea of doing a group project to bring up her spirits. Amy suggested fabric postcards. I had never made them before so it took a group effort to get me up and running, but I think they turned out quite nice. Here are a couple of tips:
1 - Make sure you buy fusible backing and cut it to 4x6
2 - Embellishments make even the most noticeable mistake fade away - but be sure to add them last
3 - Use a clear plastic photo frame as your template for cutting
4 - A 4x6 "postcard" stamp adds a great touch to the back of the postcards
Total cost $0.10-$0.25 each using fabric scraps. The embellishments are the most expensive part.

My favorite part of the project was the fact that they were so small that I was inspired to try things that I wouldn't otherwise try to do on a large scale project. On my pink postcard I began experimenting with my Fabric Decorator function of my embriodery software. I had never done it before, but it turned out well and I learned a few lessons that I can use as I use it again.

Rachel, I love your design on your postcards. It's very pretty and soft looking. I think fabric postcard is something we can make all year long for any occasions. But good designs like yours I don't find it too often. good job again! I really enjoyed! Thanks for sharing :)
