Checkbook Covers




Four checkbook covers can be made out of four fat quarters or just use scraps. They take about 10 minutes to make each one. There are elastic pieces to hold a pen and look great in a mix/match of fabrics. I'm really hoping that I have some left at Christmas to give as stocking stuffers. I did decide to add an extra flap to hold your license/debit card. (This was not shown to the SAMs members :( - sorry ladies it was an afterthought) I had seen this checkbook cover idea on TV but made the cutting directions and Instructions up on my own. My apologies ladies, I realize my instructions were very sketchy. You all are so great to have been able to complete one cover with those instructions.
So next week, we will be making a lunchbox. Ya, there is actually a online tutorial - I won't be having to make it up.

1st Meeting

Our first meeting was officially held on February 16. There were 7 ladies in attendance and we made aprons. The aprons were made from 8 fat quarters (4 for each side). These are some of the finished aprons. Our next meeting was actually held tonight in which we made checkbook covers. You can get four checkbook covers out of 4 fat quarters OR just use scraps. We had 8 ladies tonight.
