Instructions
Step 1
Using the envelope template pieces cut out two pieces from fabric and one piece from lightweight interfacing. One of the fabric pieces will be your envelope outside and the other will be the envelope lining.
Step 2
Iron the lightweight interfacing onto the wrong side of the envelope lining piece.
Step 3
Place the envelope outisde and lining pieces right sides facing. Stitch around the perimiter with a ¼" seam allowance.
Step 4
Leave a 2" opening on the side of the envelope so you can turn it right side out.
Step 5
Using your small sharp scissors, clip the corners and the top curve of the envelope.
Step 6
Turn the piece right side out. I find it helpful to use a Hera tool for this step.
Step 7
Press the envelope well.
Step 8
Lay the envelope on the table with the lining side up. Measure up 3" from the bottom of the envelope on both sides and make a mark.
Step 9
Fold the bottom of the envelope up 3". Secure in place with binding clips.
Step 10
Top stitch around the envelope, beginning at the bottom corner around the top of the envelope and ending at the other bottom corner. You don't need to top stitch the bottom of the envelope. Also, ensure you catch the opening in the side as you sew.
Step 11
Your KAM snaps should have four pieces. Two outside pieces and two of the snaps pieces. These two snaps should fit into one another. Most of the time these are referred to as a male and female snap portions.
Step 12
Using a seam ripper or small sharp scissors, poke a hole in the top flap of the envelope in the location you want your snap.
Step 13
Push one of the snap outside pieces through this hole, and insert one of the snap portions on the other side of the fabric.
Step 14
Using the KAM setter, set the snap. You just squeeze it. You should see the "sharp" point of the snap outside piece smashed down after this step.
Step 15
Fold the top flap over and mark where the flap meets the bottom of the envelope.
Step 16
Set the other snap in that location. Make sure you use the other snap part, not the same one again.
Step 17
Test your snap, and you're done! Enjoy!
