I wanted to make fabric envelopes for my Christmas cards, and this tutorial was exceptional! I made 25 of them and they turned out great. Thank you so much!

I LOVE THIS! I agree her instructions are sooo very easy and voice calming... very patient and descriptive.. Always wearing a warm inviting smile. I thought HOW CUTE she is very color coordinated... her envelope MATCHED her clothing! LOL.

Now I have my Christmas presents chosen. My sisters and I make something by hand (food or otherwise). I know they will love this keepsake. Thank you. You are the best, Laura!

Thank you for your tutorials Laura. I really enjoy them. I appreciate that you don't have us sitting watching you while you sew something, unless it's vital to what we are learning. I look forward to what you have instore for us next time. I also love the tips and tricks that you teach. I have learnt a lot and I've been sewing for 58 years. I started when I was 9. You can never know too much.

Fun project. I like that you are specific enough which makes for a successful project.

Thanks Susan, it is always nice to hear from you

Great idea! I am both a sewing enthusiast and a paper crafter. I have a paper punch board made by We Are Memory Keepers to create custom envelopes. It has a chart on the board that gives measurements as to what size square or rectangle will produce a certain size envelope. I don't know if it will punch fabric but I will be utilizing the chart for fabric measurements. Thank you for giving me another "brainstorm".

Did the punch board work with fabric?

I have not watched a tutorial from you that I did not like! Your instructions are precise, yet easy to follow and your voice is so calming. I'll be making several of these envelopes! Thank for another good idea! Linda D.

Consider running ends of little fraying ribbon over a flame to heat seal. Makers of hairbows use this technique with a candle or bic lighter. It works well. It could be used with fray check too. seal then check. Thanks Laura.

Another great tutorial Laura! I love your choice of fabrics, not just on this one but all of your projects. I get into the fabric store or online and start this...should I put this one or this other fabric. I seem to not be able to make up my mind and all I do is drive myself crazy, lol. You start with a pile of fabrics and I think oh boy she's putting those together and when you are all done with the project they always look fabulous! I hope that will come to me with more experience. Happy sewing and thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Suzee

Not sure I'd leave the 3 sides open like that. I think I'd tie or stitch them permanently closed. Love the polka dots! ♡🖤♡

Great project as always! Love your tutorials...where did you buy the fabric?

Laura---where can I find the Fairfield Structure 2 double sided fusible by the yard. Love the Fabric Envelopes. Great to put a gift card in. Thanks Kathy K

I just loved this. I love how you explain the WHY of things. My brain is always racing ahead whywhywhy... lol. I plan on making a few of these and attaching them to adult bibs for the local retirement home, so that loved ones can leave little love notes for their loved ones. I wonder if you could figure a way to permanently close three sides, so they elderly would not have to fidget with those. Any idea? When my mom was a teacher, I would make her lunch every day, and she would find a love note, sometimes a rose in a ziplock filled with water (think glass ball kinda); stuff like that. Her co workers were jealous. I think perhaps, it would brighten the days of the elders too... 😘❤️ God Bless. Please reply if you know how to close it sides and bottom. Thank you, and thank you for your tutorials. Now. To figure out if the interacing I have is the correct one lol!

Take a large piece of newspaper and fold it around your magazines and trim off the extra paper. Open the paper and use that as your measurements

You can still make them from reg interfacing. It will just be a little softer

Is there a way to figure how big your finished envelope will be from the size fabric you start with?

How do I figure out how much fabric I need for a specific size envelope. For example I want my envelope to be 11 inches square. So how big of a square of fabric do I start with?? Thanks for your help and I love your tutorials!!!

How do you determine fabric size?

Hello Laura, would a mitered corner work here? Thank you.

Your demos are fantastic. I have 2 questions for you today. First, is there a printed set of directions for this project that I could refer to? And then, do you have any suggestions for how I might use Velcro to close this pouch without the center point being too bulky? Thanks for your time.

OK. I appreciate you taking to respond to my question and for providing a solution. I ended up using eyelets after all and it worked out just perfectly. I used it as a "wrapper" for a project book I gave a good friend for her birthday. I think she liked the envelope more than the book. I was hoping so anyway. Thanks again.

Hi Laura, I love this tutorial but I cannot find the link for the how to on putting in the eyelet?
