Fabric & fibre Postcards: Day 12

 

Today,I thought I'd show some of the tools I use for my postcards:
Right at the back of the photo,is a roll of lightweight stabiliser similar to Timtex l/w.
(because I'm not using a l/w Fast 2 Fuse with heat fusible features on both sides,I'll also need to add a heat fusible webbing to the list.)

In front of the white stabiliser is a large (12.5") square ruler;
A box of machine embroidery threads
A rotating cutting board for trimming cards to a finished size of 6x4 inches,
a smaller (6.5") square ruler
Several rotary cutters,both straight and wavy edged
and a pile of lace,braids,yarns for embellishing if required.

Not included in the photo is: my large rectangular cutting board for when I work with a 9x13 inch size,which results in four postcards.
a selection of fabrics for the front of the card
a piece of light coloured Homespun for the reverse side for message and address.
a Zig brand pen for writing on reverse ,as I'm not computer comfortable enough to print out a postcard format.
