An Alien, A UFO and a finish??

This is one of those finishes that you just want to slap your forehead and say Durrh - why did you wait to do that??

Back in October we visited "The Dish" in Parkes NSW as part of our school holiday excursion.

While we were there we found these adorable shirts with aliens on them and both boys wanted one.

Unfortunately for T, he does not fit 'kid' clothes anymore, so I promised him I would cut up his alien shirt and stitch it onto a shirt that did fit properly.

So after 5 months of sitting on the table I cut, I sewed, I finished.

 (And it took only 5 MINUTES, only 5 minutes, arrrgh)

 

I have one EXCITED boy with a unique shirt.

 Durrh - why did I wait so long to do finish this??

How to avoid filing

How to avoid filing.....

Simple, find a craft to do that uses your filing cabinet.

Enter the sad looking filing cabinet (sorry only remembered to photograph after I had started)

Grab some Mod Podge and a f Fat Quarters and you are on your way to beauty.

a little more Mod Podge and another at Quarter and we are getting somewhere

Now some cotton lace from the stash to finish off the drawers

And we are done.  From drab filing cabinet obvious in my lounge room to lovely fabric art.

And now I have to go back to filing.
