Description:

For this swap, you will send your partner one (1) fabric envelope that you made. Size doesn’t matter that much as long as it can be mailed at a reasonable price (not too big, not too small). Include a place for the address, return address and stamps.

This will be sender’s choice in terms of size, model and colors so you can start doing it in advance. However, since it’s a long deadline, you can always check your partner’s profile to see favorite color.

Since this is light and not too thick to send, I’ll make it international.

This swap is meant to be fun, so PLEASE no flakers. Should there be any, I will Angel (or find an angel) if necessary.

Below, I posted a few tutorials I found to help you. Feel free to use any of them or even any other you may find on the internet. Just be creative.

Fabric Envelope Tutorials:

♦ Tutorial I just created
♦ Nice Patchwork Envelope maybe for a bit more advanced sewers
♦ Another easy tutorial
♦ Fabric Envy that requires a bit of hand-sewing
♦ Another one with hand stitching

Remember to add something for the mailing addresses (cardstock labels or something, see my tutorial). The tutorials listed seem to be made for greeting cards not having in my mind that the envy will be mailed so there is no instructions on adding the labels (which are kind of hard to add after the envelope is all sewn closed)

Thank you! It will be interesting to see if I can actually make this. lol

I'm sure you will, it's pretty easy. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if anything is unclear in the tutorials.

I am going to join even though I have not attempted to sew in over a year. If it turns out that I just cannot do this, I will arrange for my partner to receive a hand sewn envelope from someone else. Fingers crossed!

LahDeeDah, we can make these together while I am out there. (";)

LDD and I will be sending late. We have contacted our partners and the swap host and reported it in TPD CFs group.
