Floral Envelopes. Sewing Weights
Weights need to be made out of something small but weighty, unsurprisingly. A lot of people use washers stacked together, or weights filled with sand or gravel.
We had some mosaic-style tile leftover from when we revamped the kitchen. It's been sitting in the mosaic box but hasn't been used because the tiles are so much thicker than ordinary moasic tiles.
I'm trying to clean out some of my sewing/craft stock, the craft boxes are quickly running out of room, I thought this might be a good way to use up those couple of sheets. The tile is easy to cut down to a smaller size and fairly weighty. It should make a pretty suffient fabric weight.
The tiles look fine on their own but I decided to have a little fun and give them some cute envelope coverings.
What I used
- Floor/wall mosaic tile
- Floral cotton
- Embroidery thread
- Invisible thread

I traced the envelope shape onto doubled floral fabric.
If you want to be able to remove the tile from the envelope sew a clasp or velcro to the top flap.
