Checkbook cover
I just completed my first project in which I sewed ribbon onto something. Behold: a checkbook cover made with the new ribbon. Too bad my checkbook doesn't fit in it. That's right, you heard me. I used this nice tutorial, but clearly I didn't check closely enough to make sure I was doing it right. But on a happy note, I didn't say any bad words or smash anything, either.

Well, it's really cute, anyway! :-)
Mum
that is so funny! sounds like something I would do.
Better luck next time. Maybe you could use this one for coupons or something :)

LOL! That's so funny! The ribbon is fantastic by the way. I really like how it turned out!
Aww, it came out really cute! :-D It's okay about the sizing, I've done stuff like that and I'm sure so has everyone else. Maybe you can give it to a little kid to use as a "wallet" or something.
Anyway, it's super cute. :) I'm sure if you ever wanted to make a bunch and sell them, they would do really well.
It's so pretty! Love your ribbons. Pity hardly anyone uses cheques here (in the UK) any longer, I would make one of those.
Who uses a checkbook these days? :)
I'm all in love with the Bambi Airstream. Have you ever been in one? They are sweet!!!!
Been there done that. I once measured and cut something three times, and it was STILL wrong. At that particular moment, I was a credit to my hair color stereotype (blond of course!).
Oops. I guess I should catch up on your blog b4 commenting. Wow though! Bisbee! I stayed at the Copper Queen in the 80s in July! And I still have my Spirograph from way back when b4 you were born.
I guess it's official, I'm retro.
love your ribbons!
hi! it's the nicest checkbook ever! even though i don't use checks! :P
congratulations on your ribbons and on your latest sewing creation!
It's adorable!
Oh I love it! What a creative way to use your new ribbon.
How cute! (And thanks for even admitting to us that it doesn't fit...kind of reassuring for a novice here).
And I use checks ALL the time: my babysitters, housekeeper, therapist...oy vey!
After posting my 1st comment, I found this link that would be perfect for your new ribbon!

Well, it is completely adorable... even if it doesn't fit! :-)
I love your new ribbon, fantastic
jajajajaja.... I love it when those things happen. It's the mixture of frustration and realization that anyway, the project came out cute.. jeje yet completely different...
I LOVE the ribbon
Now, wouldn't the piggy bank ribbon have been a more apt choice for a checkbook cover?:)
Um, yes. Duh. I was too blinded by my love of the campers to see that!!
this is so cute! i just saw that ribbon on another blog, now if only i could remember where. i have been meaning to make on of these for the longest time. as it stands right now, my poor checkbook is naked :P
Oh so cute!! See you did find a use for those adorable ribbons!! :) I love them!
I love your new ribbons! What a neat project to do.
All of your ribbon designs are so cute and so is this little project. Just cut your check book in half - is should fit then! ;-)
It could possibly work as a small change purse, it's a bit too cute to not be used.
it's adorable! :)
by the way, i tried ordering your ribbons, esp. the cupcakes ones..but they don't ship to India! :(
Creatist, actually I haven't designed any cupcake ribbons—you're probably talking about Kathleen Rietz's ribbon. But I do happen to know that if you'd like to have something from Caroline's shop, just send her an email and she'll try to accommodate your request. Like shipping to India. (She's on vacation for a week, though, so you might wait a bit.)
Cute! Too bad about the size. Maybe a notebook would fit in it or something.
I think your blog is great!
I did a small shout-out to your designs on my blog so that my friends could all go buy your fabric!
Hi!! I am sure you have already received this before..just in case I gave you a weblog award..go to my blog!! I LOVE your blog!! :)
Ohh, great tutorial. Thanks for the link!!
AHHH - I LOVE THE RIBBON!
ohh ok :P sorry.. will mail her soon...:) thank you
