My First Flea Market

Flea Market, Farmer's Market, call it what you will, I have my first one (planned anyway) in June! Time to take this show on-the-road!


Currently, I just have my Handmade Wristlets and Checkbook Covers. I would like to add these neat little things called "roly"s to the list. I just need to decide the size and then get to perfecting the pattern!


I will attempt a roly pattern today! Stay tuned for peek-a-pic!

Handmade Checkbook Covers!

An item's pattern usually takes me time to perfect. I go through about 3-4 'trial' pieces, getting the cuts, stitching and placements just right. By the end, I have my own pattern for how to make something attractive and durable!

Today, I worked for hours perfecting a nice Handmade Checkbook Cover!





I used thick Pellon interfacing throughout, 100% cotton fabric and thread, and a standard sew-on velcro. One thing I realized while creating these: They can also be used as covers for those purse-size calendars!
