I wanted to send the buyer at Liberty a thank you card for for taking a chance on a new brand and giving me the time and advice needed to develop the range for retail. I knew this card hand to be special. I had to hand make it! I couldn’t be the owner of a sewing brand and send her a shop bought card, sew i set about making this little treat.
Step 1, pick out your fonts on Adobe Illustrator and trace tiny dots of over the top of them, delete the fonts underneath and make the dots coordinate with the colour yarn you are going to stitch them with. Step 2, print out the picture in whatever size you require for your card and using a sharp sewing needle prick little holes through the dots on the paper. Step 3, blue tack the paper to the card you want to sew on and prick through the holes in the paper template all the way through the card layer. Step 4, remove the paper template and using a darning needle big enough for your yarn, sew sew away! Step 5, make a extra special envelope made out of vintage wallpaper, i used Orange Blossom.
