Awww, thanks 1 minute ago, TheFeeLion said: You could always make a wrap instead, much less faffing around. All you need are two squares of fabric and something to use as a tie to sew in one corner like this... I made one of these for my Mother Mary Oracle, I love it. Mostly it requires the effort of me tidying up so I can sit at my sewing desk... I'm kinda waiting until fabric arrives and have to start on some sewing commissions. That'll force me to get the machine out and I'll do several other projects at the same time. Machine sewing always happens like that... Link to post Share on other sites
Trophies and Medals TheFeeLion Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 @stephanelli I'm still trying to find parts for my old bernina (ever since it broke doing that Creative Tarot Circle project) so that wrap was all hand sewn and actually didn't take as long as I thought it would! I've got some fabric ideas now for my other decks though I was thinking for my Housewives this with yellow gingham on the inside Maybe this on the outside for Thoth This for Dragon Age Inquisition One of these for Tarot of the Divine Link to post Share on other sites
Trophies and Medals GreatDane Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 LOVE all the images of fabric and finished products all of you are posting! PLEASE keep it up. For me, LOVE the finished product when something I have thought about takes shape, I just really don't want to be the one to do it and I REALLY don't have skill set all of you do. I wasn't brought up sewing. I think my aunt taught to sew things like fixing a tear, sewing a button, when I was young, but I just don't have the desire (which may partly be it doesn't come easy to me, never has) to do myself. AND WITH TALENTED PEEPS around, thankfully I don't have to! So please keep the images coming, so fun to look at. Link to post Share on other sites
LadyNettle Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Hey everyone! I think I'm going to make a little bag for my newest deck and book as the box is quite chunky, and as this is my new baby I'm really trying to bond with it. What are the reasons for lining the bag? Does this protect the cards? I'm thinking of making my bag out of an old bedsheet but I'm concerned I may need something sturdier now? Link to post Share on other sites

I like to line bags because it looks nicer and it hides all your seams. (Actually, this applies to almost everything I sew uness I'm on the overlocker... MUST HIDE THE SEAMS!)

Trophies and Medals Raggydoll Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 I think lining also helps protect the deck, if you use a soft fabric. I have repurposed bedsheets for linings (you know, the ones that just sit in the linen closet and never gets picked - or is that just in our home? ) It worked great and I got enough for many projects just from one sheet.

Heh I love the name for that clothesline one, it's called "Don't Let the Birds do the Dishes" I'm going to use that and the gingham for my Housewives deck I was thinking of using that blue floral one with maybe the pastely one for my Shadowscapes but I haven't sat them all down together yet (my husband has his rc car stuff on the bar where I do my crafty stuff ) and I'm contemplating using the red/grey and the grey/black ones for my Dragon Age Inquisition but I haven't decided for sure. Tarot of the Divine will with get the blue birdcages one or the koi, possibly both... Link to post Share on other sites

The only related craft I've dabbled in when it comes to needles is crochet so seeing all these gorgeous sewn bags and the cloth patterns make me go wow! I love seeing the way people pair colors/patterns with decks. By the way TheFeeLion, what deck is that with the two birds on the back? The art is beautiful! Link to post Share on other sites
