    What about a vest from 2nd hand store, use it like fisherman do and attach your rotary cutter, flat head pins, seam ripper, bobbins, scissors on a ribbon. For vest back stitch on a large quilt block... then a patchwork skirt or a quilt done into a wrap skirt, print out small quilt blocks & glue to old shoes, like others said your necklace could be a tape measure maybe with spools of thread on it, ..... a few quick thoughts.

    My husband would say any outfit with thread stuck all over it. He says I can't leave the house without thread sticking to me!

    just spend the day prior to party quilting and by the time to go you will be appropriately decorated with threads, just don't put the tools up, measuring tape, scissors lanyard, pincushion (wrist type) and a few pins stuck in the front of the shirt should do.....don't forget the glasses! but most importantly, be comfortable and have FUN!!!

    Wear a quilt as a shawl, a table runner as a hat, and have all sorts of quilting accoutrements and paraphernalia hanging off of you.

    Put lots of little treads all over your clothes. Carry around your spray starch in one hand and rotary cutter in the other. When you talk to the party guests, admire their costumes and say "I could make a cool quilt out of this fabric". LOL :lol:
    I love this!!!! But all the ideas are great! Have fun!!!!
