* fabric envelope
Posted on January 8th, 2006 by maitreya. Filed under Sewing/Fabric Crafts.
Idea from this Japanese craft book, that I just got in a swap with chicadecanela. I think the one in the book is a paper envelope that they took apart, glued to fabric on the lining side, then reassembled, since there isn’t an actual pattern included. Mine is fabric on both sides (lining is the background fabric), fused together, ironed on the folds, and glued together with Yes paste. The buttons are from a bunch my sister gave me for xmas. She even sorted them in jars, and I’ve been trying to come up with an excuse to play with them ever since I got home. I’m not sure what I’ll put in it. :)

love it! i have a bit of that fabric laying around as well. also papersource has a template for making baby envelopes out of paper, which as you have shown us so wonderfully, would work for fabric too!

I got Yes paste in a Martha Stewart craft kit I bought. You should be able to find it at better craft/art stores, and definitely online. I just tried Googling “Yes paste” and a bunch of mail order art supply sites came up.

I enjoyed reading about this idea. This is great for customers of jandofabrics.com.

Not only is this a brilliant idea, but “green” as well. You could use used envelopes for this!
