These are my first attempt at fabric postcards. I like the way they look, but they turned out really heavy. I used diluted white glue to fix the fabric to paper, then hand stitched through both with embroidery thread (ouch), and finally stuck the tops to old postcards using double-sided tape. The real test will be seeing if one makes it to England intact.

This piece was made from recycled materials that were formally garments, it includes some cotton shirt, lace, tulle and even a recycled swing tag, all sewn together using dissolvable fabric and free machine stitch, so each stitch is thoughtfully placed and composed. This piece also includes a gorgeous recycled sea blue cotton backing fabric cut to size, placed on a postcard. All pieces are detachable from the card and the backing fabric.
