Ribbon Fabric Envelope
Well-chosen compact discs are always appreciated gifts. Personalize the CDs by slipping
them into delightful hand-stitched pouches. The soft envelopes can be used over and
over, as sachets or as small cases for travel toiletries. You can also vary their size
and shape to fit blank books, pencils, diaries, or eyeglasses.
