Yabadabadoooooo......

apologies for the disappearing act, time seems to be getting away from me at the moment!

it seems my run of a cold-less winter is over - lots of sniffles and coughing here at the moment so my sewjo seems to be evading me...

but i did manage to complete this project for Mr JK......

now my hubby is a very practical man and is a typically get in - get what you need- get out type of shopper. Totally opposite to me who could spend hours browsing aisles (particularly in a craft shop) hence the reason he will usually opt to stay home with the kids when im headed out to the craft shop.

So no one was more surprised than me, when he came home from work one afternoon with the bulging spotlight bag filled with fabric. Even more surprised when he told me he had a 'dress-up' function to go to and asked me to make him and a good friend (whom he was going with) a costume each! Despite the fact that this was thursday, and the function was on saturday, he handing me this bulging bag full of fabric and this.......

Yes, that right they wanted to go as Barney and Fred Flinstone! They had taken themselves off to spotlight to buy some material for me to make them some costumes. Apparently the ladies who served them thought it was hilarious to see two guys (wearing glue splattered work clothes no doubt) pouring over racks and racks of material to find the right sort of material! and told them that they made a great pair for Fred and Barney!

so i set to work with only this picture as a reference....
and this was the result



i was pretty pleased with the end result! I tried to tell them that i didn't think Fred and Barney wore boardies (that hung down at the bottom) underneath though i don't think i had them convinced....

Love to know your thoughts!

Thanks for stopping by!
