Check it out!

Editing to link up here .. lots of creativity and talent to be seen.. go check it out.

I've sewn three of these checkbook covers recently .  The first two had minor mistakes ,, but I think 3rd times a charm.   I used this tutorial here and it really is easy to follow I just get in a hurry and mess it up. I made all of them using scrap pieces of fabric and a bandanna for one of the ruffle accents. 

 #1 - cant see the mistakes but trust me they are there.  I did pleats instead of ruffling the blue part. 


#3 - much better.  Didnt get a pic of #2.
i did pleats instead of ruffling the black piece. 


And because i've been slacking lately with my blog here's one more picture for this post.. Melanie bought her a kit for making cupcakes recently and made these for a coworker of hers.  I think she did a great job.  I love the big swirls. 


This past weekend my sweet honey thought of me when he saw this coffee mug and bought it for me..  its so me!  ha ha

  2. I love those checkbook covers! I'm so jealous of you for being able to sew them. I am planning on buying a sewing machine soon and learning how to sew. Lord save us. I'll probably sew my fingers together!
    Glad you "found" me again. The move was easy - moving my GFC was not. LOL
