carr52 Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Still practicing my basket weave. I think in about 50 years i might get the hang of it. Made these for the ladies at the bank. Who knows I might get lucky and one of them will bake me a cake. I hope.OOPS. I uploaded the pics twice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hilly Report post Posted May 10, 2008 Those are really nice! I can't run a straight basketweave stamp to save my life, even with all the tutorials you see on this site. I also like that you have spaces for credit cards, as not everyone uses a seperate register with their checks. How did you do the side with the card slots, if I may ask?

How did you do the side with the card slots, if I may ask?I just sew the little pockets on the flap one at a time. On the bottom of the pocket. I leave them long so I can cut them off at the to get a cleaner look. I also glue them in place. It makes them stronger and holds them in place while I sew.

Hilly Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Thank you so much for posting these pics. Sorry to say though, that I really can't see much because of the black on black. Maybe you could try some other colors? Do you have some scrap fabric or something that might show up better? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
