Credit / Business Card Holders are Finished - Finally!!

Today, the Credit / Business Card Holders were finally finished. More Shimmer Ornaments were also stitched out on the machine. AND, I walked 6 km at the LCLC's indoor walk area.

These 'Holders' will be going with me next Tuesday, to Newfoundland and  will end up at the Devon House Gift Shop.

 

Holders!!

I just finished a bunch of Credit Card / Business Card Holders for the next Fair. It's difficult to see all the glitzy fabrics and threads I used. I so do enjoy making up bits of fantasy fabrics to use in projects.

A quilt friend purchased a holder at the Christmas Craft Fair last week and is using it for her sewing needles.

Finished Work

The production work I was doing a few days ago is finished. I have been making these 'Holders', which can be used to carry credit cards / business cards / gift cards / jewellery, for a number of years. They are perfect for taking on cruises as you can put them in a pocket. No one wants to take a purse everywhere they go when on a ship (or so I've been told) so these are perfect. I had a special request last year to put a cord on one so that it could be worn around the neck.

These holders are made from lots of glittery fabrics, yarns and threads. I make a base fabric a little bigger than what's needed. This base is stitched with Sulky Sliver threads. I cut my pattern from this stitched piece. Velcro is used to fasten the flap. A label with my name on it is sewn to the inside. I will write about labels on another day. Each 'holder' is numbered and one-of-a-kind. So if you have one of these pieces, you actually have a little piece of original art. No two are ever the same.
