it just sorta happened

It isn't as though I don't already have 

plenty of projects in the works.

This one just sorta happened though.

I have a book I've been supposed to bring to a friend 

for over 2 weeks.

It's waited patiently right by more door.

Since I've been so slow in getting it to her,

I thought I ought to make a little gift to go with it.

Months ago

she posted on FB that she needed a business card holder

kinda like this one.

Last time I checked, she hadn't ordered one.

I'm not sure that this fabric is 'her'

but I thought it was better than anything else in my stash.

Problem is, I don't really know her well enough

to know for sure.

It was fun to make 

and went together pretty quickly

even though I was figuring it out as I went along.

I'm a bit irritated with myself for having the curve on the flap

going the wrong direction.

Silly thing is - I had my fabrics cut for the other way

but somehow convinced myself I had it backwards.

So I changed it and guess what?

I got it backwards.

Oh well ~ it'll still work just fine.

in retrospect - I should not have used black thread!

It always amazes me how much mess I can make 

working on one little project.

You'll be happy to know, though

that my sewing desk is still clean :-)
