Hi folks,
So I am considering buying a pack of Tarot cards to study. I've been doing some research and have found a couple of decks that I feel comfortable with purchasing.
I've heard that while keeping them in the box is OK, I really want to treat them with respect and make a pouch for them, but I also want it to feel like ME. My questions therefore relate to:
1) Is it possible to use Aida cloth to create a drawstring pouch? If so, what count would be good to use? (I am thinking of cross-stitching a design onto there)
2) would a lining be do-able and if so, what material would be good to use for a newbie? (my extent of sewing in recent years has been linen with a sewing machine and a couple of quick jobs involving blanket stitch and wool/felt, however I am also capable of doing backstitch...somewhat)
3) If Aida cloth isn't feasible for whatever reasons, what would be a good material to use for the outside as a complete newbie? (I may end up appliquing a motif or tie-dying some material as a backup)
4) What would be a good pattern to use or a good guideline? so far I am thinking around 17 x 10 (allowing for 2cm seam allowance) as the decks I'm after are roughly 12cm x 8cm.
