A free SVG to make a thankful photo greeting card.
This month I am participating in an SVG hop of free Thankful SVG files. The file I am offering is this thankful greeting card file. It is sized to hold a 4″ x 6″ photograph. Consider sending it to loved ones who can then use it as a nice mat for the photo.
I cut the file on a Cricut Maker. The SVG will work on other Cricut machines.
The free cut file has a red line that will need to be set to score before cutting.
Need a frame? They are so easy to make with cardstock. Using a personal cutting machine makes it that much easier. They are very sturdy. Thick enough to also be used as a shadow box. The frames were really easy to make and rather addictive. Fold your own paper frame with this free SVG file.
Open the file in Design Space, ungroup. Select all and then center the two layers vertically and horizontally. Then attach, change the red box to score, and then cut.

How to sew reversible baby shoes, includes a free PDF and SVG pattern.
How to Sew Baby Shoes with this free reversible pattern.
One of the talented ladies I partner with at Creative Craft Blog Group (#CCBG) is having a baby. Since we can’t be with her to celebrate, we are holding a virtual baby shower. Each participant is making a special gift for Erica at Five Little Monsters, blogging about it, and sending her their creation as a baby gift. I chose to make baby shoes. The pattern I am using is reversible. Aren’t baby shoes just adorable?
The fabric I chose to work with is blue and green since Erica is expecting a baby boy. I used cotton fabric since the baby is due in the summer but I have made baby shoes before out of fleece and they worked just as well.
The following links are affiliates, using them help support this site. I appreciate you considering using them.
If you would like to cut the fabric out on your personal cutting machine, this post now contains the SVG file for you to download. It is saved as the small shoe size, just enlarge it as needed for different sizes. [SVG shoe pattern]
Instructions:
To begin, download and print the free pattern.
Download the free PDF pattern, do not print directly from the image above, the scale will be off.
Cut two of each shape from two contrasting colors. (four pieces of each pattern piece when finished) Iron fabric to make sure there are no wrinkles.
Sew the contrasting heel pieces together. Then fold so the correct side is facing out. Iron if needed.
Create a channel for the elastic to slide through. This should be approx. 3/4″ from the top edge. I used a contrasting thread so you could see the placement.
Cut two pieces of elastic a bit longer than the heel. Using a safety pin, slide the elastic through each heel piece.
This next step is a little difficult so I hope the graphic helps explain it better. Place the toe piece pattern B face up, on top of that lay the heel piece with pattern B down and pattern A face-up. Then layer the toe piece pattern A face down. Pin in place.
Place the sandwiched pieces, into the sewing machine and begin to sew along the top edge. Stop sewing about halfway across and leave it in the machine. I have flipped up the top piece of fabric so you can see what is going on. Pull the elastic band slightly, take the exposed edge of the heel and align it with the other edge of the toe piece, pin it in place and continue to sew across the top edge of the toe.
This image shows the above step right after sewing. Cut off the extra elastic piece.
The shoes are starting to take shape and it is time to finish up by adding the soles.
The first shoe is already sewn and the second one is pinned ready to sew. To do this place the sole piece pattern A face-up on the table. Now place the sewn toe and heel piece on top of the sole with pattern A facing Pattern A. Now place the sole piece Pattern B face down. You are creating a sandwich with the shoe inside the two sole pieces. Sew around the shoe leaving about an inch open to turn it right side out.
This image shows the shoe sewn around leaving an inch open to turn the shoe right side out.
Both shoes are turned right side out with the inch opening still needing to be sewn closed by hand. You will need to do this twice for each side of the shoe since they are reversible. Once done, they are ready to wear.
Additional Suggestions:
Before you begin to sew, you could add a decorative embroidery stitch to the toe pieces of the shoes.
You could decorate the shoes once the sewing is complete with the addition of a cute button, bow, or gem.
Consider using different patterned fabric for the different pieces to create an eclectic style shoe.
Use leather instead of fabric.
