Have you started planning your Christmas gift sewing? I always find it hard to come up with handmade gift ideas for the teens and young adults in our family. Gift cards and money are usually the most appreciated gifts, so I have made sweet fabric envelopes to hold gift cards. They are quickly constructed from sweet fat quarters of fabric, and you can customise them with some pretty fabric “stamps”, address labels, and hand stitched details.
I am working on a tutorial for the Pretty Fabric Envelopes. It should be ready in a day or so – don’t forget to pop back. For this project, I used a Summer Picnic Dolly Mixes Fat Quarter Bundle from our lovely sponsor, Dolly Henry. Dolly Henry have a wonderful curated selection of sweet fabric to inspire your next project.
Edit: You can find the tutorial here.
Dolly Henry are giving one lucky A Spoonful of Sugar Reader, the chance to win a Summer Picnic Dolly Mixes Fat Quarter Bundle, plus some sweet pompom trim, as shown in these images. To enter, simply log into the rafflecopter giveaway box below with your email address or facebook account. Do as many of the giveaway options as you wish – if you already follow A Spoonful of Sugar on facebook/pinterest etc, just click the button below for an automatic entry.
