Or, at the very least, it will provide some comic relief to the people standing in line behind you while you desperately try to extract your credit card from the pouch you’ve voluntarily sewn it into.
So, to all of you wanna-be frugals in the house, I present the finished credit card cover from yesterday’s embroidery project. That’s right, I have now officially sewn my credit card into a fabric cover to prevent me from using it for unplanned purchases. What do you think? Will it have a positive effect on my bank account, or will it just drive me crazy?
(Truth be told, I don’t expect to have too many problems, as I really only use my card for traveling and the rare unforeseen emergency/vet bill. If I really wanted to see my bank account numbers go up, I’d have to sew up my debit card.)
I like it. I hope it works out well for you. I have been known to freeze my credit card into a Tupperware.
Haha, I love that idea! Ice is a way better deterrent than thread. :)

@Joel: I definitely remember you. Congrats on becoming a vet! It's always good to know who to call when I've got a cat-related mystery. (And I do have some mysterious cats.) Thanks for the blog compliments, too!
