Yes a change today as I have my trusty sewing machine out.When my husband's shirt collars are worn, I remove the top half to make Grandad Collars.
Anyway one of my husband's colleagues liked the way this looks, and as they don't need to wear ties all the time, he has requested I do the same with one of his shirts. It's not worn but the points curl and it's his favourite shirt.
The other item which needs attention is the grip on my spare badminton racquet. Over time they deteriorate and you get "black hand" syndrome as the grip comes off on your hand. This has happened to a few people at the group I am facilitating then I realised my spare racquet was in the same state too.I did a couple of LOs this week too.
My Son's 18th birthday and Christmas.
Please can someone tell my body it has got 10-15 degrees cooler as I am still HOT HOT HOT.
Hi BJ, lovely layouts, and what a clever way to keep shirts in use! Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shax #10 XxX
ReplyDeleteHi BJ. Love the layouts - well done. All the best with the shirt collars - I reckon you will have plenty of requests when your handiwork is shown off by two guys in the office!!
ReplyDeleteTake care. God bless.

Great way to save those shirts! My problem is that the armpits of my hubby's shirts go yellow after a while and there's no way to save those. Your layouts look lovely and tell the story so well! Happy WOYWW! zsuzsa #33

Hi BJ good idea with the shirt collars. It has been so hot that I think it will take a while for the house to cool down properly which is probably why you still feel so warm. Have a great woyww and a happy crafty week, Angela x18x

What is a "Grandad collar"? Is it like a Nehru collar? My hubby is still waiting for me to hem the shorts he made from an old pair of pants. Hopefully I will get to it before it snows! You are a good wife! Thanks for sharing! Lindart #35
