A Fabric Envelope

As if that wasn't enough posting for one day, I have still have one project left.

I was asked to come up with some "creative" way of handling quite a number of thank you notes for our church chorister. All the kids wrote a note telling how much they appreciated all she had done for them. I thought a box would be nice but a few days ago when I was on my way to ... where else ... the fabric store, I had a brain storm. Since fabric is my medium of choice why don't I make a fabric "envelope" to hold all the thank you notes. And I had the perfect pattern idea in my files. I was even more excited to do this when I found this fabric. Isn't it perfect?
The inspiration came from www.replayground.com and was for a cardboard wallet using cereal boxes. I measured the notes and then designed the envelope to fit them. This was so much fun. I see additional "envelope" projects in the future.

Wow, you've been busy! I like all the finished products. This little envelope is adorable. You'll have to let us know that the choirster thought of it - how could she not like it!

It's fun to see what you've been working on!
