A fabric postcard is a wonderful way to turn a small piece of favorite fabric into something you can actually send, display, or give away.
Use the Acrylic Postcard Template when you want to feature a special fabric motif, a fussy-cut floral, an embroidered detail, a novelty print, or even a small piece of vintage textile. Finished fabric postcards make thoughtful handmade greetings for birthdays, holidays, thank-you notes, encouragement, or simply letting someone know you're thinking of them.
They can also be displayed as tiny pieces of textile art. Make a collection and rotate them seasonally, frame several together, or tuck one into a gift.
For an especially easy postcard-making setup, pair the Acrylic Postcard Template with Quiltsmart's Postcard Back Fusible Muslin, which provides printed postcard backs designed specifically for quilted fabric postcards.
The Acrylic Postcard Template is a reusable acrylic cutting tool, not a printed interfacing pattern or a one-time-use pattern.
It helps you cut and position the pieces for your fabric postcard. You will need fabric and the appropriate stabilizer/interfacing to make the postcard itself.
