Checkbook Covers

I found a checkbook cover pattern online a couple years ago, and made a couple for myself. One came out great, from some scrap fabric that I adored and only had a smigden leftover. The only problem was that when I got done with it, it was a tad small for my checkbook. But I have it in my purse and I use it for receipts, coupons and the stray dollar bill or five.

Last week I found a blog who has some cute checkbook covers to make and so I have to direct you to Robin's Nest. She doesn't have a tutorial, but since I have made these before, I think I can dig out my old pattern and just adjust the measurements to suit.

So how bout you? What are you working on in the crafting arena?

Make Your Own 10 Minute Pouch

I love finding great projects that others do. The blogosphere is full of talented crafters and sewers. They are inspiring. Once in awhile, I find one that I need to make sure I don't lose, so I write a post here about it. Link to it. And thus create a permanent record. I hope that you enjoy seeing these posts too and visit the creative crafters blog.

Today's feature is a new blog I found After The Dress Such a cute name, huh?

She makes these great pouches and gives a tutorial on how to make them. Sweet! I love tutorials, as I can't always visualize how something should go together. I can see using up alot of scrap fabric with this project in lots of cute fabrics. I can also see giving these a little gifts to teachers,friends and family.

So how bout you? Found any great tutorials lately? What crafty projects are you working on right now?
