So yeah, I'm obviously all about the fabric cards. Can't. stop. making. them.
But hey! What about fabric tags? I must say that I love how these look all wrapped up on a package. And of course, I love that they coordinate with the card, and even with a tiny bit of what's inside the package (but shhh...I can't tell you what it is yet!).
I've had lots of questions recently about how to make the fabric cards. The "pattern" is from Denyse Schmidt Quilts (love that book). Basically it amounts to machine sewing strips of fabric onto cardstock, and then 'quilting' the whole shebang, and trimming the edges. For the tags, I cut the cardstock circle first, then quilted a piece of fabric onto the cardstock, and cut around the edges. I used a paper punch to make the hole. One tip I do have for using paper on your sewing machine, though, is to designate a needle just for paper, because I think it does wear on the needle quite a bit (did I get that tip from the book? Or trial and error? Now I can't remember.)
