Steps:

  1. From each of the fat quarters do the following:

    2. From the stabilizer cut one section measuring 5 inches x 7.5 inches for the interfacing.

  2. Fuse the stabilizer to the wrong side of the exterior section.

  3. With the machine set up for sewing sew a ¼-inch seam allowance along the long edges to piece the units together.

  4. Open the seams and press flat.

  5. Fuse the stabilizer to the backside of the unit.

  6. Trim the section to 5 inches x 7.5 inches.

  7. To create the flap on the envelope take the inside rectangular section and the exterior sections and mark 1.5 inches from each of the corners on the short side.

  8. Line up the ruler positioned on the two marks and cut at a diagonal to remove the corner. Repeat for the opposite corner.
