...there`s a new goodie in town. It`s the fabric envelope. Look - the passports are all ready for our trip `home` next month.
I used a couple of my Pernilla`s Journey FQs and this tutorial to make a fabric envelope. It is super easy and you can run one up quicker than it would take to eat 3 Jacob`s Crackers without drinking water.
Much much quicker.
I wish I had thought of a fabric envelope when I was sending my scraps in The Scrappy Swap 2011 (my poor partner still hasn`t received her scraps despite them being sent over 3 weeks ago but they were in an envelope - albeit not as pretty). I am assured by the swap mama that the country she lives in is renowned for its slow mail. But doesn`t every country have slow mail?
Happy with a pleasing result for little effort (yes, I`m a lazy good for nothin` wotzit), I made another using Loulouthi this time.
When I made the second one, I made the flap slightly deeper and it seems to sit better when closed. If I was to use this as a passport holder, it would certainly need a fastening but that would be easy enough.
I actually popped over to In Color Order to look at the tutorial for this drawstring bag after seeing a gorgeous version here. That could be the next little project. Seen any good tutorials recently?
*thank you for all your lovely get well wishes yesterday - they seem to be working as I`m feeling a lot better. I may even get back to the gym tomorrow before my fitness buddie gives up on me completely!
