Vaction Blog Hop with PPPR

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

 

School is out and summer is here, and that means vacations!  Today the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons design team is having a Travel themed blog hop.

 

If you came here from Jeanne's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon this post and would like to start from the beginning, please visit Lisa's blog.

We are sharing "Vacation" themed projects with you today.

 

For my project today I did something a little different.  Instead of paper, I created with fabric!

 

I've been wanting to try cutting fabric with my Cameo, but have been hesitant.  I have no idea why, because it was just as easy as cutting paper! 

 

Here is my project, a passport holder.

Here is the iron on adhesive I found at Joann's.

 

Details:

I used a couple of layers of the airplane from the "Are We There Yet" cutting files. I just made sure to shrink the size to fit the front of my project.

The passport cover pattern is from Sew Mama Sew, here.

fabrics are from my stash (yes, I have a fabric stash too) :)

Cutting fabric isn't any harder than cutting paper.  First you'll want to iron your fabric to one side of the adhesive, and then remove the paper backing.  Now you can stick your fabric to the cutting mat just as you would paper. 

 

I'm not sure if you have to have the "fabric" blade, but I like to have a separate one, just like having separate scissors.
