As promised, here is my attempt at a tutorial. There are several other postcard tutorials out there on the net, but I've tweaked them a bit to make what works for me. If you make a selvage postcard using these instructions, please let me know if you had any difficulty following the steps. And, of course, I'd love to see your final results! And if I can get it to work, I plan to make a PDF file available on my blog someday. Updated -- link to the PDF is on my blog's sidebar.
This tutorial is for non-commercial personal use ONLY. Feel free to share with others, but please give the author (me) credit. NO COMMERCIAL USE ALLOWED. Thanks.
Supplies --
-- one 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" piece of white/cream fabric for the back of the postcard
-- one 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" piece of fusible fleece (fusible on one side only)
-- one 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" piece of fusible web (I used Heat 'n Bond Lite)
-- thread (at first I thought I'd use red, but changed my mind to pink after I had the selvages arranged)
-- permanent fabric marker
-- fabric selvages

12. Add a FIRST CLASS STAMP (not a postcard stamp) and take it to the post office to be hand-cancelled. Don't let the clerk tell you it needs additional postage! I've sent these (from at least three different post offices) to Oregon, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, North Carolina, and a number of other states, as well as locally with no problem at all.

That's it. Have fun!
