Swipe, swipe, swipe and then be prepared when the bill comes in at the end of the month. Hopefully, you'll be smart and when it comes you will not be surprised.
Yet, it's so easy to spend and not keep track of where your money goes when you use your credit card. I guess it takes willpower, my friends, and sometimes you gotta train yourself to have will power. That is why ReadyMade Magazine had the brilliant idea of creating a credit card guard. I simplified the instructions and made some illustrations to go along with them. (I'm a visual person)
What you need:
* Fabric scraps (keep in mind that you need a 3 3/4" x 5" rectangle)
*Needle and thread
*Scissors
*A ruler and chalk or a pen that will be visible on the fabric
1) Prepare your rectangle.
2) Fold in half and sew along the sides on the dotted line. Leave the top open.
3) Flip it so that the seam allowence is now inside the pocket.
Insert your Credit Card and sew top seam closed. Tie a knot at the end and leave enough thread hanging so that if you have an emergency you can pull it and free your credit card. ONLY DO THIS IN CASE OF EMERGENCY!
I like things to look neat, so I turned my s.a's inside}
I hope you find this useful :)

P.S: there is no such thing as a clothing emergency... (unless your pants rip and you have a very important meeting...)
