How cute is this? I decided to make checkbook covers after fishing my crumpled, disastrous mess of a checkbook out of the bottom of my bag. I'm not the biggest fan of checks anyway, so having a cute wrapper for them makes the whole thing much better. I always get compliments on mine - which makes the whole process of writing a check so much more fun!

This wristlet is made from some of my favorite fabric, and without a doubt my fav fabric combo!! Both of from Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom line, and they are adorable. It's a modern, funky and fresh bag to take with you anywhere!

The strap is firmly stitch in place, and the entire bag is sewn with durability and long use in mind. :)
