Sewing Pattern: Valentine gift card envelope

Made up like itty bitty love letters, these little fabric envelopes are an adorable way to present a gift card to someone this Valentine’s Day! And after the gift card is spent, you can continue to use the envelope to hold credit cards. I’ve got a tutorial for you over at Orange Bettie. They’re easy to make, requiring just a few simple seams! They use just small pieces of fabric so you can make them from your scrap stash. Go to Orange Bettie for the tutorial and free pattern.
