    "Spirit flag" for daughter's High School---they flew it the day after they won a sports event or other event. I also made beds for my dogs-----they were very inexpensive. I would go to the thrift store, buy a fluffy comforter in good shape, fold it in half, then half again and sew the edges together. They were great and cost pennies to make.

    when i was in high school many years ago, ('75-77) they didn't have lingerie shops all over, so i made custom things for anyone who wanted to pay the price. and they did. i wanted to be a lingerie designer, never got that far, but did in high school. Used to be a casket embroider, and lined caskets also.

    i also made men's undies for my contractor, and for his friend a mason, one out of tiles. (forgot about that one)
    and of course crotchless items, and converted for the girls inhighschool, jeans into crotchless with q hidden zipper.

    I really like this idea! I think I will make one for my boyfriend (can a 63-year-old man be a "boyfriend"!) for father's day.

    I don't know if you call it making it but altering it. My son in law is in the hospital with broken legs so I bought some shorts took the side seam out and added a strip material to the seam and added velcro so he could slip one leg in and wrap around his abdominal part and close.
