I've been eyeing this DIY card holder for some time. My nieces are in town, and we were playing some card games. Aliyah is so tiny, and she has trouble holding all the cards in her hands. So I thought it was a good time to try this pattern. It's called
Card Kitty by Sew Can She.
I didn't prepare or prep -- I just jumped in and started following the instructions. I quickly realized I should have read the pattern first LOL because I didn't have the required Peltex. Caroline suggested trying other stabilizers such as cardboard. Cardboard works!!
It is an easy pattern to follow and to make. I had a fun alphabet print in my stash and a piece of velcro that was close enough to the right size needed.
You end up with three pockets which are stitched down the middle so they aren't floppy.
You may have seen on my Instagram that Aliyah had surgery yesterday. Thanks for the kind words and best wishes. She should be released this afternoon but will stay in town for another day before travelling home. We'll have to play some card games tonight so we can test out the card holder.
I have to be honest -- I may be making one for myself. 😀 I like that it folds relatively flat when not in use, so it's easy to store when not in use.
