Have you started your Christmas shopping or
sewing yet?
I have!
I 'pinned' this idea for gifting money which
I want to use this year.
My son and daughter-in-law are going on a belated honeymoon to New York in mid-December, and I wanted to give them some spending money!
I changed the pattern a little for my own purposes
which I show here...
I found an envelope that "fit the bill', teased it open
and traced around it.
I marked the section where it would remain
unstitched for turning through...
(I know I often forget this and just keep sewing!)

It's fun finding ribbon and buttons to match!
It's also perfect for a special piece
of costume jewellery!
Sorted!
As Kate said on IG, wouldn't it be lovely if all our

ReplyDeleteI love these Suz!! Such a great idea and you've used such lovely fabrics. You're so right that it would be great if all mail looked like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to gift Christmas money! I saw this on IG and made a mental note to remember. Such a sweet little envelope! They will have a great time in NYC. It will be so festive at Christmas time!
ReplyDeleteOh! I love these! I haven't any Christmas sewing planned, but I might have to pinch this idea.
ReplyDeleteWell that sure is a fun project
ReplyDeleteWhat a super idea, Susan! I don't anticipate doing much Christmas shopping, if any, as gifting by check has become the best present for both our children. So your envelope idea is a good one. You always share such nice things. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea and yes it would be so fun if all mail looked so pretty. Seems like you could even hang it up open by the little loop to hold items. Hope they have a blast in New York.
ReplyDeleteHow do you stitch the side panels? Finger stitch maybe?
ReplyDeleteI gotta make some today 😃
ReplyDeleteConfused as to how you see it after it is turned right side out.
