Lace Envelope

Deliver your notes, photos, and invitations in style with these elegant and simple freestanding lace envelopes! This tutorial will show you how to assemble your lace into a functioning piece of beautiful correspondence.

Supplies


First things first: you'll need to download the Lace Envelope design for your embroidery machine. This comes in two sizes -- the larger fits a 4"x6" photo or card, and the smaller fits a standard gift card (or up to 2 1/4" x 3 3/8").

You will also need:

  • Hand-sewing needle and thread to match the color of your lace
  • Scissors
  • A button (up to 1" diameter for the larger envelope, or 5/8" diameter for the smaller envelope)

Products Used


  • Sealed with Roses (Lace) (Sku: EMP17167-1)
  • Holly Envelope (Lace) (Sku: EMP17222-1)
  • Damask Envelope (Lace) (Sku: EMP17239-1)
  • Autumn Baroque Envelope (Lace) (Sku: EMP17431-1)

Steps To Complete

Begin by stitching each of the three pieces of freestanding lace on your water soluble stabilizer, then dry completely (here's more on stitching freestanding lace).

Take your back piece and front bottom envelope piece and stitch them together, right sides facing away from each other.

If the pieces don't match up perfectly, it's OK! That's the nature of lace. You may need to pinch the sides in together as you stitch around the envelope.

Next, stitch along the top edge of the envelope flap and the top of your back piece, leaving the top flap open along the scalloped edge.

This is what  your stitched envelope should look like when you're finished.
