This month we will be making Fabric Post cards with members Lee and Julie. They each will be presenting a different technique.

Basic fabric postcard supplies:

Card stock cut to 5"x7"

Pelion 72F cut to 5"x7" (double sided fusible heavy weight interfacing)

Batting cut 5"x7"Fabric scraps - matching or not

Plain fabric for back - something light so you can write a message - size 4x6 if making one, 9X12 if making four

Lite Steam-A-Seam2 - one sheet - 9x12 or one-piece 4x6

Heavyweight interfacing like - Pellon 72F - Peltex II Ultra-Firm Two-Sided Fusible (one sided works too) Or Fast 2 Fuse Interfacing

Sakura Micron Pens - black - 02, 03, 05 - any of these sizes

Nice to have but not necessary:

Novelty prints - animals, flowers, people, etc. - size needs to fit on a 4x6 finished postcard

Ribbon, rickrack - matching or contrasting to fabrics you’ll use on fabric postcards

Monofilament thread - clear or smoky

Sakura Micron Pens - 02, 03, 05 - any of these sizes - colors you enjoy using

Pinking shears or pinking rotary cutter

General supplies, notions, equipment:

Cutting mat

Rotary cutter

Acrylic ruler(s) - 6x12, 6x6 - bring your favorite small one

Scissors - sewing, paper

Non-stick pressing or applique sheet - to protect your iron board - Teflon pressing sheet

Thread - color(s) to match or contract your scraps, dark - black or dark brown

Pins or sewing/quilting clips

Sewing machine - you won’t need this at the meeting if you just want to play around with designing the front of the postcard - you will need a machine to finish but that can be completed at home
