Description:

You may actually have heard of Pocket Letters yet. For this swap you will only use three pockets out of a 9 pocket sleeve. This is good for all who want to try out pocket letters. It's a fine, small project. Also good for those who don't have enough ideas to design a full sleeve with one theme. Plus it keeps the postage low as you can send it flat (ok, it depends on how bulky you will make your creation :))

It's fun! I've made a couple of them over the weekend.

Example found on youtube

  • You will have one partner

  • Take a normal 9 pocket sleeve and cut it carefully horizontal to get a three pocket sleeve

  • Design the front pocket as you wish. Theme is sender's choice.

  • Use some pretty paper for the back pockets (don't have to be designed, just so you can't see at the first view what's in the pocket)

  • One pocket have to contain a small letter. As it's a letter, please write a bit more than "Here's the swap"!

  • Include some small flat goodies in the other two pockets (like: ephemera, stickers, washi, patterns... everything what will fit into the pocket)

  • Include the swap name and your name/user

  • Send it off

(If it's hard for you to find those card sleeves you also could make your own when you have a sewing machine. Please ask me if you need help with it, I'm happy to help.)

Swap #2 is open to join now!

If there's enough interest I'm planing to do this a swap series of three. So that you can use up a full 9 pockets sleeve in the end.

Have fun!

Thank you for making this international!

How do you store/display these? I have the full pages in a 3 ring binder, but I'm not sure how I would display these.

@HeideC I would suggest to collect three of them and tape them together on the back with washi. Again you've got a full page! In theory. Haven't tried it yet.

@HeideC - I store them on a large ring. They can be hung from a hook. Also one of those "shoebox" style storage boxes from Michaels would work too!

I am so sorry I missed this swap! It has been so busy for me this summer that I was unable to do any swapping and won't be able to until after September. But I do hope you have this 3 pockets again! It is the perfect size for me!

Because of the move I cannot join this one but I will sure join one of the next!

Is there any theme to these- ie so the three sets have the same theme or is it senders choice?

RockyBeach 09/ 1/2016 #

@Sewingbea It's sender's choice, no theme given (for all three sets). Though the idea is worth considering!
