Brandy Lynn of Brandy Lynn Designs<\/a> has organized another fiber postcard exchange – theme: Snowflakes.\u00a0 (I missed the summer Maple Leaf exchange<\/a>, so when I saw the announcement<\/a> for this one, I signed up right away.)<\/p>\n

I decided to go with a gold and black color scheme, and a modern look.\u00a0 I cut narrow strips from several gold fabrics and sewed them together.\u00a0 I drew the snowflake shape on fusible web which I fused to the back of the black fabric.\u00a0 Then I cut out the snowflake shape and used the positive shape on one postcard, and the negative shape on the other.\u00a0 I straight-line stitched around the snowflakes with a gold and black variegated rayon thread.<\/p>\n

I haven’t made fabric postcards before, so I checked out a few online tutorials.\u00a0 Monika at My Sweet Prairie Studio has a really good one<\/a>, with lots of great tips – like using white thread in the bobbin so it won’t show through the backing – which I never would have thought of!\u00a0 After making a couple of prototypes, I decided I would wrap the fabric from the front to the back, then I wouldn’t have to deal with the tedious job of finishing the edges.<\/p>\n

For the back of the postcard, I designed it in Excel, then printed it on some ivory-colored linen-blend paper that I happened to have.\u00a0 I fused the paper to the back, covering the raw edges of the fabric.\u00a0 Then I stitched around the edges through all the layers.<\/p>\n

I had lots of fun making these, and will definitely enter more postcard exchanges in the future!<\/p>\n
