Lovely Recipe Card Holder: Tutorial

Today’s feature is from Anna Maria Horner with this tutorial for a Recipe Card Holder:

With all the wonderful soup recipes that I’ve been gathering, and all those that I’m sure you’ll come across in these most yummiful weeks of the year, I think we should store them in a lovely way. And even more, I think these would make fabulous gifts.

So here is a simple little recipe card holder that I whipped up. I chose to first embroider some simple cream linen after I composed the design on the computer. You can click on the little graphic there to bring up the jpg, download it, print one out for yourself, then trace in a window and embroider.

Obviously you don’t have to embroider this project if you’re short on time, just use a favorite fabric. Oh, and big news, this can be accomplished with just 2 fat quarters. I don’t know why, but knowing a project can be accomplished in a matter of fat quarters makes me giddy.

What a lovely, lovely project! I love the idea of storing a collection of favorite recipes in little fabric pouches like this. How perfect for gift giving too! Basic, simple sewing is involved and as mentioned, you can embellish with embroidery if you like.

Please visit the site above for all the project details, so sweet!
