Fabric Postcard Tutorial Featuring Hello Sweetheart by Riley Blake Designs

I love this adorable valentine inspired fabric called Hello Sweetheart by Riley Blake Designs!  Seriously the cutest valentine fabric ever!!!

I was so inspired by the clever little valentines that I wanted to turn them into actual valentines you can mail!  These are super easy and would be fun for your kids to help make!

Supplies:

Hello Sweetheart valentine panel by Riley Blake Designs

4″ x 6″ pieces coordinating fabric

Heat n Bond heavy weight fusible stabilizer

Spray n Bond basing spray

Paper postcard (see download link)

Thread

Using scissors, cut out the valentines you want to use.  There are so many cute ones!!!

Cut each background fabric 4″ x 6″

I had fun mixing and matching the valentines with the background fabric.  This is what I choose.

Using Spray n Bond basting spray, spray the wrong side of the valentine and position it on the 4″x 6″ fabric.  Sew around the valentine.

Cut (2) 4″ x 6″ pieces of  Heat n Bond heavy weight fusible stabilizer.  You will use 2 pieces per postcard.

Fuse the first stabilizer to the wrong side of the fabric postcard.  Let cool.  Then fuse a second piece.  Let cool.

Download the postcard template by clicking here.  Cut on the gray line – it should measure 4″ x 6″.

They are so cute!

Once they are all stabilized, spray a little basting spray on the wrong side of the stabilizer and position the paper postcard.  This is to hold it in place while sewing.

Now that the postcard is assembled, you may need to trim up the edges if the stabilizer of paper are showing.  Using a zigzag stitch, sew around the postcard 2 times, sewing near or off the edge.

Now start writing notes to the people you love!!!
