Recently I have seen several excellent tutorials for fabric wallets and clutches throughout blog land. I thought of my small stash of 1940’s fabric scraps, but alas I didn’t have enough yardage to make a large clutch or wallet, so I thought “Why not make something even smaller?” Here are Pockets Full of Posies.
Pockets Full of Posies
I cut out two pieces of fabric that measured 5 1/2” x 7 1/2”. Next, I cut one piece of double faced fusible interfacing the same size and placed it between the two fabrics and joined the pieces together with a hot iron. A simple stitch around the perimeter and a button for embellishment completed the task.
A pretty custom gift card holder is inevitably cuter than a plain paper envelope.
I then couldn’t help myself and went even smaller to create a coin purse size.
Although it is large enough to hold two movie tickets.
The possibilities are endless with what you could fill the pockets with.
I filled the sweet pockets in my Etsy shop with paper punches, buttons, vintage embellishments, and posies of course!
I am thinking that this would make a fun swap.

Those are adorable!!! I have a little one very similar which I store my watch and other jewellery in when I am traveling. I don't usually take anything too valuable with me so those things are OK packed away normally. But the last thing you do at night is take off a watch and rings and good earrings. People who have good memories have no problems, but if you are like me and have forgotten something on a nightstand, it’s a good idea to put it in a little case like these and tuck them in your purse. (Or have an amazing DH like mine who double checks everything now before we leave the hotel! 😀
Thanks for sharing!
Pour insérer un petit billet doux à son amoureux ce pourrait être parfait… Il faut savoir surprendre, n'est-ce pas ?
Gros bisous
Your gift card holders are precious! And I think I'm jealous of your vintage fabrics…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh wowwwwwwww! These are AMAZING! :):):):):):):):):):):)
Very cute, Laura! This type of project would be great for all the smaller fabric pieces I have laying around that can't really be used for anything else. If you decide to do a swap, I'd be interested.
Now how stinkin cute are those!
I love the gift card idea!!
Too cute!!
Love them and oh so Vera Bradley!

Your fabrics are so fresh and charming. And your stitches are immaculate. The way you display them makes me want not just one, but all! They look so cute together.
That is a great idea for using fabric scraps and they are too cute!
Laura, you never cease to amaze me! I love that blue fabric with the rabbits and ducks; they all look fantastic together!
Laura,
I am trying to imagine any time your pretty fingers aren't creating something beautiful!!

I usually make my own cards and now I have a cool idea for the envelope. Thank you for sharing. I am needing a new coupon holder for my purse, this is a good idea for this also. So creative. Can't wait to see what's next.
Super cute!!
The gift card idea is simply brilliant!
Very cute and creative. I need to share these with my daughter as this is something she would take off with!
These are awesome!! What a great idea for the gift cards! I had used a bag idea for gift cards before…Saw it on someone's blog….But your idea is great too!

I just recently purchased a small shoulder bag to use on my vacation. I'm sort of hooked on it now. That would be perfect to corral the driver's license and debit card.
How cute, what a wonderful idea. I am going to forward this to my cousin, she will love this!
Oh I love making these! And yours are fabulous! I love the fabrics you have used too. What a great way to send a gift.

These are a great idea. I love the idea of making a simple envelop for gift cards instead of using paper ones. Definitely pinning it to help me remember.
