Fabric Postcard Workshop

Today, four of my fellow guild members came to my house so that I could show them how to make Fabric Postcards.  Guess I am becoming a teacher!

This is a display of some of the awesome fabric postcards that I have received that I used for inspiration.


I designed a postcard to use as a sample and then I made up a little  kit with all the fabrics and stabilizers and backing that is needed to make a similar postcard.  The girls set to work and here is what they came up with.  I was very impressed and I think they all may end up making more postcards in the future.
