Why use a plastic, bank issued, checkbook cover when you can make your own custom cover in no time!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a scrap of canvas – 7 1\/4″ x 7 1\/2″, and two pieces of fabric – 7 1\/4″ x 4″. I coated the canvas with digital grounds, and printed Ms. Moneybags on the cover. (The hows of printing with digital grounds are\u00c2\u00a0here<\/a>.) Then I sewed the three pieces of fabric together, using 1\/4″ seam allowance. Press seams with an iron.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Turn the ends down 1\/4″ and sew, then do the same lengthwise.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fold patterned fabric to form the pockets, press with an iron, and pin into place. Stitch all the way down, 1\/8″ from the sides.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Insert your checks and transaction register into your new checkbook cover!<\/p>\n
