Comment by Phyllis Chambliss on August 6, 2012 at 11:52am: Thank you, i will make one.

Comment by vicki gasorski on February 17, 2012 at 3:34pm: the little ribbon would be used for holding a pen and to keep the checkbook closed.

Comment by Carolyn Hoxton on February 17, 2012 at 1:53pm: I don't get the ribbon? 2 inches? What does that do? Thanks

Comment by Mary Linda Malley on February 17, 2012 at 1:05pm: Some great ideas here. And now I will just have to go out and get her book for more good ideas. Maybe then I will get more use out of my serger.

Comment by Robin Stowers on February 17, 2012 at 12:28pm: Love this! I need to get my serger out and dust it off. These would make wonderful gifts! Thank you!

Comment by vicki gasorski on February 17, 2012 at 11:26am: Note to Karen's comment -- when you're ready for a new serger, definitely check out Babylock brand. Wonderful machines and easy to learn and use.

Comment by vicki gasorski on February 17, 2012 at 11:25am: I have this book and love the projects in it. I haven't made the checkbook cover yet but definitely will now !!

Comment by Karen on February 17, 2012 at 9:40am: I have Georgie's book which is excellent but it is good to see her in action ('Ready Set Serge' by Georgie Melot). This is where I first heard of wrapped corners!. My only disappointment was my machine doesn't have a cording foot and being out of production now I can't get one unless I buy a new overlocker/serger. Nevertheless I managed to make the cosmetic bag with the help of my sewing machine. I will try the glasses case but with added applique. I liked those machine embroidered owls so I will do my own version of them. Will post pictures when I can.
