This one is for you Sydney...

This is a tutorial for a checkbook cover... super easy! In fact, I made dinner and this tutorial in about an hour! Can't get better than that;)

I don't know how to re-order the pictures after they are loaded... so we will start with the two I already made;) The inside of this one is lime green...

The inside of this one is that pink on the flower petals




First things first, gather your supplies
1/4 yard main fabric
1/4 yard lining
1/4 yard medium weight interfacing
and all the other typical sewing supplies





Cut all three layers 7x13
so, 1/4 yard will make two with some left over... great gift idea... mother's day and such... hint hint;)

If you are using fusible interfacing, attatch it according to directions on the package

Then pin your main fabric and lining right sides facing together

Ignoring my random projects behind the machine... Sew with a 1/4 inch seam, leaving an opening for turning. Backstitch at the opening

Trim all four corners

Dont mind the ironing board cover either... I am recovering that tonight... ;) Turn right side out and press

Topstitch all the way around, backstitch in the begining and when you get back around to the start

Just in case you don't know what a topstitch looks like;)

Fold the ends up at 2 3/4 inches and pin

On both sides

Sew down one side, getting as close to your original seam as possible. Then repeat on the other side

Fold in half and iron. voila! you are finished! Embelish as desired.
