How to Make a Fabric Postcard Party Invitation
comments (9) August 9th, 2013
Sure, Evites are easy, but if you're planning a special celebration, why not do it up right and mail out some really unique invitations? These postcards are a great small quilting project, and they travel beautifully through the post. (See the one at the top there? I mailed it to myself and it still looks great!)
What you'll need:
- Sheet of Friendly Felt (see note below)
- Scrap of print fabric
- Scrap of acrylic felt
- Fusible web
- Scissors
- Iron
- Sewing machine
- Coordinating thread
- Fray Check
- Craft glue
- Cardstock (or postcard)

Cut pieces of Friendly Felt, acrylic felt, and print fabric. |
Begin by deciding on a size for your postcards. If you're mailing them, then it's wise to research standard postcard sizes as defined by your country's postal regulations. I'm using a 4-1/4-inch x 6-inch size here.
Cut one piece of Friendly Felt and one piece of woven fabric in postcard size. Then cut one piece of regular acrylic felt that's 1/4-inch smaller on all sides (so for my sample here, that's 3-3/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches). This acrylic felt will be completely hidden in the finished postcard-it will provide the padding for the quilting. So you can use up leftover colors in your stash.

Stack the felts and fabric with layers of fusible web in between. |
After you make this project, show off your work to other members!
