Remember the cute sewn cards I showed you here?
Well, recently I did a variation on them, inspired by another blogger. Unfortunately, I cannot remember who it was, please let me know if you know who it is, I always try to give credit where it's due!
The fabric I won from Sew Mama Sew! makes a good background. :)
These cards are so easy to make that they don't need a tutorial.
However, they look extra special, and very cool.
Are you wondering how I make the cards that shape without buying ones like that? I cut an A4 sheet of white card in half, and then fold that in half lengthways. It's an easy and cheap way to make your cards a bit different.
You can practise your zig-zag stitch at the same time, too!
And the other fancy decorative stitches your sewing machine has.
They're always cute, and your friends will love to receive cards that you have made.
:)
On another note... I had a look at my sitemeter tracker the other day, and was amazed at how many different continents and countries view my blog. There are 3 continents and 22 countries at the last count! That's amazing!

I am so thrilled that my readers are growing all the time, thank you for your support!
Oh, and I love encouraging comments. Feel free to drop me one anytime!
Very cute! I have a friend that does this as well... she makes all her own cards! I'm lucky enough to live close to her so any time I need help I just track her down :)
