Back in the day, I made bell bottom pants out of woodstock material for my DH. He did wear them once or twice. (we were still in the honeymoon stage at that time.) Wish I had pictures!

I made a very small tent for my son's bird. It was a Lori and he like to sleep in it. Looked like a long diamond shape open on each end. I made him 3 of them. Then I made him a holder for his windows for his Jeep. I also made a adult Holly Hobbie costume and little Red riding hood for work ( I used to work in a fabric store loved it)

Never made a stuffed animal before. Six year old requested a VERY large cat! This is about 4 ft. long; tail adds another couple of ft.

I made a 6 ft tall indian teepee for my kids when they were little. They used it for a couple of years.

Found a novelty item pictured somewhere that was a hoot, about 30 years ago. A ball warmer (for guys) I made several one Christmas for gag gifts.

I made those also so maybe we will both get kicked off!! It was in the 70's. Had a lot of laughs over them. Even altered the size (up and down) for jokes.

A Hood for an air assisted sand blasting suit had to make holes for the hoses and a frame to slide the lenses into and it had to be a dbl layer of Carhart fabric -So of course it needed batting and the rule is if its sandwiched it must be quilted so our guys were very stylish I ended up making 3 and machined stitched each one with the 1st letter of their names -oh- the snaps to attach to the suit was done by my husband All the sewing was done on my Singer Treadle
