It's a gloomy day here in North Carolina, so I thought I'd post a few laughs for everyone today. I sometimes get ideas and actually feel compelled to carry them out...Last spring I thought about buying those topsy turvy tomato hangers but decided not to because they were pricey and I'm a skinflint...I mean I'm very frugal so I cam home and created 'Tomato Pants'! I got a nice crop of tomatoes from them too! But not without some problems... The denim started disintegrating so I made some 'chaps' from some outdoor fabric and they lasted the rest of the summer! I have a similar idea this year but with improvements....
And....because I love gardening and it is sooooo hot in NC in the summertime, I created some soft cotton bras from a 3 pack of 'Granny Panties'. I know they are funny looking, but OMG they are soooooo comfy! I've had so many people ask me how to make these, I actually put a tutorial of them on my blog!

Now you are one creative person!

How very creative! I can't imagine having it actually work, you must have a green thumb as well as being a great quilter!

I laughed out loud when I saw these pictures. What a funny idea.
I'm going to your blog now to see your panty bras tute!

Lol. Thanks for sharing!! I'd be afraid to hang anything outside like that hubby might think it's the go ahead to be creative himself and god only knows what hed put out there.

OK I gan see the tomato growing pants!!! Great Idea...Butt (lol) What in the world made you think about making bras from granny panties lol cheryl :-)

very cute, need your tute for the bras!

Too cute and extremely creative!

Who knows where ideas come from? I just knew I wanted something cooler that a 'regular' bra but not tight and binding like a jog bra....

I love this. You are a VERY creative person. I went to your blog and could not find anything on "Tomato Pants". Can you please tell me more about it. I would love to do this as well. However I live in AZ and it might be to late out here already. :oops:

You are one creative gal!

very very lever of you!!

Great ideas!!

I went to your bra tute and I'm going to try making some for summer.
Thanks--

LOL The pictures are so funny> I wonder how many had to stop and do a double take not believing their eyes. But I bet the tomatoes were the best you ever had, am I right?

They were quite good. I love green fried tomatoes so I had a hard time waiting for them to ripen. The best thing was that I had such a good laugh everytime I went outside!

Wow very creative! Sure wish it was nice enough here in Minnesota to start planting, the way the weather has been here, It might take until June to get started.

You are legend! and I thought I was frugal! Love the granny pants bra idea...will definitely bookmark...though don't know that granny pants are going to be "robust" enough. You made me smile....so thanks!

LOL!!!

Love the tomato pants!!! Thanks for sharing!

I will be sure to show my husband these tomato pants. hahahahaha.... am heading over to your blog to check out the grannyPanty. At 80, my mom can't stand anything tight around her ribcage, and these just might do the trick! How clever you are.

oh I will Absolutely be making these for my mom... you should consider posting this clever idea on the board in the tutorials. Do you have any tips as to how to determine the correct size underwear to buy? (although, I can just go buy some and test their fit on me.) thanks for sharing this.

OOO LA LA!!

I love the bras. Too cute

Thanks you for posting your pics! I too am going to your blog, Just made me laugh to think of granny pantie as a bra! but it does look like a great idea.
