My mom requested a checkbook cover for Christmas…last year. So, being the amazing daughter that I am I decided to make one for her six months later; anything for my Momma! Oh, and I was at her house when I decided to fulfill her wish for a handmade checkbook cover. That means I was separated from my fabric supply (not all of it). I did have my beloved Bernina on hand (as I don’t leave home without it) and some scraps of material from various other projects I had thought about ahead of time. I found these two scraps that I had used together in another project. She had asked for something bright, and I felt that this fit the order.
It has two pockets; one for a checkbook and one for a check register or receipts or whatever. She was pleased with the way it came out (or at least she told me she was), but I would do things differently. These are the ideas for future checkbook covers:
1. I think it needs a heavier stabilizer. It wasn’t as stiff as I would have liked.
2. I want to add some sort of latch (magnetic snap, button and loop, Velcro).
3. I would like to put a pen holder in the crease. That’s always handy for a checkbook cover.
