(not just Autumn.) My mom gave me the idea to make a recipe book that is filled with only pumpkin recipes! Although instead of a book, I made a felt pouch to hold recipe cards. Here's how:<br/> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="../-XoxL9PfbTLU/UFC0KjXGpKI/AAAAAAAAI8s/MC3Q3wFW5u4/s1600/recipe_pouch_tutorial.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="../-XoxL9PfbTLU/UFC0KjXGpKI/AAAAAAAAI8s/MC3Q3wFW5u4/s1600/recipe_pouch_tutorial.jpg"/></a></div> 1. Cut 4"x6" recipe cards from cardstock. You can do however many you like.<br/> 2.  Cut 2 pieces of felt that are 5"x7" or 1 piece of felt that is 5"x14" and fold it in half.<br/> 3. Decorate your felt pieces and sew them together sewing down the sides and bottom.<br/> 4. Cut 3.5"x5.5" pieces of cream colored paper and adhere them to your recipe cards. Write out your recipe and add a washi tape tab to your cards so that it is easier to pull them out of the pouch.<br/> <br/> I doodled the little piece of pumpkin pie, and hand embroidered him onto my pouch.<br/> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="../-uNnAyweIBa4/UFC0LGbVKaI/AAAAAAAAI80/TwrU94SR_Xc/s1600/pumpkin_pie_embroidery.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="../-uNnAyweIBa4/UFC0LGbVKaI/AAAAAAAAI80/TwrU94SR_Xc/s1600/pumpkin_pie_embroidery.JPG"/></a></div> <br/>

Creating a Fiber Paste Card with Mou Saha
