Underwear Repair Kit

I was going through old photos today and I came across some pics of the gag gift that I had purchased last Christmas for Hubby's company Christmas party and I thought you might find it as humorous as I did *grin*.

The underwear repair kit is the perfect gift for the handyman in your life that loves to do things on the fly!

It comes fully equipped with white out stain remover, duck tape, elastic, stick on patches, safety pins and even a needle and thread for those tough guys that also have a domestic side :)

As you can see with the help of these supplies you can return those worn out, rag tag undies back to their former glory!

But wait!! Maybe it's not a cosmetic problem at all but, hmm, how should I put this delicately.... maybe they've lost their new car aroma *snort*. Oh my goodness these photos just kill me! LOL.

Please note that this repair kit cannot possibly help you in all situations and no matter how well you think your underwear look after their 'fix up' the little lady at home ultimately has final say *grin*.

Okay, I seriously needed that laugh today and I hope you got a chuckle to :) If you would like to get your man one of these kits I would be more than happy to let you know how to find one! They are produced by Running Press and the ISBN is 978-0-7624-3225-7.

Hugs,

Undie Update

Well I still haven't got any of the cotton/lycra fabric that I need to finish the leg and waist bands of my undies (hopefully tomorrow) but that's definitely not stopping me from sewing more :)

Who wouldn't want to make more! Have you seen how stinking cute these little boy ones are?! They are adorable with their little boy fly flaps in the front *grin*.

My 4 year old is completely crazy about the little owls on them and I've got him and his sister so excited about them that they are begging to try them on :) I am seriously thinking about making these for Christmas presents for everyone I know LOL.

I just need to figure out how to make them in my size now!

Undies

I have been sitting on this stash of super fun knit fabric by Patty Young waiting for the perfect project because you know I didn't just want to make any old thing with it *grin*.

So when I spotted the cutest little pairs of childrens underwear on flickr the other day I just had to make some for my little girl to :)

The pattern is by That *Darn* Cat and is available in a PDF format delivered right to your email inbox pretty much instantly. You've got to love that! No waiting for the snail mail :)

So far it's super easy. Just two pieces for the girls undies and there are TONS of photos to go along with the instructions so you really can't mess it up *grin*. I haven't done much sewing with knits so simple is good :)

Unfortunately though I didn't realize that I needed a cotton/lycra blend for the leg and waist band so I'm going to have to hit the fabric shop for a bit of matching fabric to finish them up. On the plus side there is absolutely no elastic involved!

So much for working non stop on my quilt as you go quilt though! All I've got is undies on my brain now *grin*. Now if only they came in a larger size than a child size 8. Apparently Hubby is in need of some new underwear to because when we went shopping together last time he somehow bought himself a package of size 'small' underwear! Here I thought he had it all under control down the undie isle and he came home with speedos! Not that I'm complaining LOL.
