This
week I am working on something that was requested a while back, some
clothes that are folded so you can put them in the drawers of the
dresser or stack then wherever you need them.
This
is a fun project and really easy because there is no sewing involved
at all.
The
first time I saw these was in a swap I received probably about 15 or
more years ago. I was very intrigued by the idea and set about to
figure out how to make them. I am really happy with my version and I
hope you are too.
Before
we start we need to pick our fabric. This can be tricky because we
need to keep scale in mind. Of course you can stick with solid colors
then you don't have to worry about it. Just keep your eyes open for
tiny prints. For this project I do recommend using a 100% cotton
because it takes to ironing very well and also glues well.
To
start we need two pieces of fabric the first one cut 2 ½” by about
6”. the second one needs to be aout 1” by 2”. We also need a
piece of cardstock that is cut 7/8” by 1 ¼” (I know I said the
size wrong in the video-sorry)
The
steps in the video are pretty easy to follow, Just take your time and
be careful working with the hot iron.
If
you are not familiar with the paper backed fusible web it does make
life so much easier when doing projects like these. I use it all the
time and always have some on hand. Just be careful not to get the
glue part on the iron. That is a huge mess and not fun to clean up.
The
other tools you will need are some glue (I used Tacky) , scissors, a
toothpick (to apply the glue) and a hole punch (1/16”) for the
optional buttons.
I
hope you enjoyed the project. Remember to let me know if you make any
of my projects I love to see what you are working on. Send me
pictures if you can either on the Facebook group (the link is always
in the video description), here on the blog, or you can email them to
me here.
I cannot find how to see the video, there is no link

So sorry, I must have forgotten to add the link. I just got home and I fixed it.
