patchwork greeting card tutorial.

this fast+simple patchwork greeting card tutorial is a 

super fun way to personalize a swap package or a note to a friend! 

<<materials needed>>

one standard greeting card or card stock 

fabric scraps

lapel stick (or glue stick!)

 

[1] trim+arrange fabric scraps in mosaic-like pattern. 

[2] using a dab of a lapel stick (or glue stick!), adhere 

the scraps to your greeting card. this is just to keep things 

in place when stitching the scraps. 

[3] sew around each of the scrap pieces. i used a 1/16" 

seam allowance -- just enough to catch the fabric. 

[4] trim the loose threads and done!

once you've got the basic steps down, the patchwork greeting card possibilities are endless! how about using a few decorative stitches around the scraps? or play around with some different fabric scrap shapes+threads! if you make some patchwork greeting cards of your own using this tutorial, please include them in the Canoe Ridge Creations flickr group -- i would love to see them!
