This Saturday my boys will be going to the birthday party of a little four-year-old friend of theirs, and since we are low on funds (and really, buying plastic junk that will last a week holds no charm for me) I decided to make gifts instead. His mom told me he's really into Star Wars (my kinda kid) and that he's recently gotten more into drawing. Enter the presents:
My friend Heather gave me some vintage Star Wars sheets to cut a small piece off and this was what I came up with. Two birds, one stone. Of course, I had to make a pencil pouch to go with it.
All in all it took me about an hour for both, which is pretty good I think. I'm getting much faster at putting in zippers that's for sure. In fact it took so little time that I got kinda bored and curled my hair. My kids wonder where I think I'm going but y'know, sometimes a girl just wants to look pretty, even if she's wearing pajama bottoms.
Wow!! Good job! wish I coudl pop things out that quick.
ReplyDeleteI need some of your zipper mojo! Besides, you never know when someone could call you via the webcam. They can ALWAYS see your hair -- they only see the pj pants if you want them to. ;)
ReplyDeletegreat present and way better than plastic junk
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you are bonkers! I love the idea of you just having a notion to get the curling tongs out!
ReplyDeleteThey are my kind of gifts, too! Way cool - I'd use them myself!
Love these! Excellent use of novelty fabric!
