A canvas lean-to for my DH and BIL to take to a rendevous. My payment was a serger. i used my ancient Kenmore to sew it(they promised to replace it if it got messed up). Machine sewed right thru it. The biggest problem was manuvering that heavy fabric.

I have made chisel holders for my husbands chisel's. Pockets the chisels slide down into, top folds over then it rolls up for easy storage.

Thanks. Snow White turns 28 this year. I can't wait to make costumes for her daughter, my Avatar.

About that size, just a little deeper.

I found some small white bags at a local grocery store that they put frozen stuff in-like the half gallon icecream during checkout. I talked with the store manager and asked him if I could buy a roll of the freezer bags from him, after I explained what it was for, he just gave it to me. 1 roll had about 50 bags I think. That was the liner.

That is a positively *brilliant* idea! *files it for future reference*

I made a 12" high stuffed penquin with a clerical collar for a lady pastor who was mad for penquins. It was pretty cute!

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.

See my post about the crocheted items I made. If I get kicked off here, so be it. They were funny~
