How to Sew a Fabric Postcard - Updated Version

As with many crafts, the way I make my fabric postcards has evolved and changed over time. I decided to make this video as an update to my previous fabric postcard series to show those differences.

I have opened a Flickr group for this YouTube channel so that we can all share photos of our crafts and our lives. Whether it's cooking, crafting, gardening, or something else fun and exciting please share what you're working on in our Flickr group. Flickr is free to join and a fun way to connect with others interested in the same things as you.

Ive watched several videos on fabric postcards and your video is to most informative and concice. Some people talk way too much and i appreciate that you got right to the point.

So cute Robin!!! My older sister lives in an assisted living facility. Ever since I move to another state, I send her a fabric post card every 4weeks or so. I made her a basket to save them in. They really brighten her day! Our mom says every time she sees her, she shows off the latest one. They are so easy! Even if I'm doing an applique one, I can easily do it in an evening. It uses scraps and makes her so happy! ❤ right now she isnt allowed to have visitors so they are even more special to her.

What a great idea to send out these now. We all enjoy a special surprise! I'm old fashioned I guess but I love getting things in the mail. Just not bills! 😊

Love these ideas. A lot of people like to make their own holiday cards. This would be perfect!!

4/6/22: Great Googa-Mooga, Robin, this is a FANTASTIC idea, especially when it comes to using up the scrap pieces. There are so many places I can go with this project now that you've got my head in a whirl, so I definitely plan to get into this in the near future. You are so inspiring with your creative ideas, and I appreciate it. Thank you! 😊

Always love watching your work, I made mine using thin recycled cardstock on the inside and a 100gsm paper for the writing area at the back, it is not as squishy as yours but I think as it is recycling it is fine. Hope you like it when it arrives 😊.

I have that seam ripper. I love that little eraser on the end. works great to get the threads out of your fabric.

Interested in the source of your clear plastic envelopes.

So when you send the postcard to the person it has to be put in the plastic bag and if so where do you buy the bags? Thanks

Robin, I have the comic boards and I don't like putting my fabric on them. This is a great use of the 100 I have. Question, are you saying they can be sewn through to attach the
Little quilt sandwich?

What model of JUki do you have? Good videos.

[judystratton]

So you put the stamp on the cello bag envelope?

[kathytincler]

I just love this idea! What presser feet do you use throughout? I'm a newbie & stress out over changing feet....it's a fight, I'm not good with machines....sigh. Knitting, crocheting & other crafting are much easier for me but I want to learn this! Tfs

[kathytincler]

Hi- I'm finally getting ready to try this but want them to be note cards. (we had quite the conversation in another vid about these projects a couple of weeks ago vid in which you were very helpful to me, an old newbie) Since I want to only do the notecards could I just stop at the material & batting & either glue or use dbl sided tape to attach to the card or would that not hold very well? My scary concern is trying to sew thru material, batting & a piece of card stock. Tia

Hi, I was wondering what machine you are using with that decorative stitch?

[beverleysimmons]
