quilted cards by Dana at Made

Use up fabric scraps & make a cute greeting with this Quilted Notecards Tutorial from Dana at Made.  It’s a great beginner’s sewing project (crooked lines give it character!), and it could easily be hand-sewn if you don’t have a machine.

The one thing I tried differently than Dana’s tutorial is I used a spray adhesive to adhere the fabric to the paper before sewing.  This kept my fabric from bunching as I sewed.  I liked how this worked, but then I hated the adhesive smell afterwards, so for the second card I used scrapbooking taperunner instead.

Here are two cards I made, inspired by this tutorial.  The first is my practice rose from the  Sew a Rose out of Knit Tutorial at Sew Take a Hike.   For the second card, I sewed the fabric to the card, then sewed ribbon scraps to the fabric.
