I once made covers for the visor in the car. easier than I thought. My then hubby was impressed,plus I made him a neck cover when riding his bike so he could also cover his mouth.

When my dad was alive I made him a customized fishing vest. I also made him a console cover for his boat. I've made handyman toolbelts but I don't know if they're that unusual.

Can anyone top a replacement canopy for a Ford tractor, or the interior upholstered door panels of a '61 Ford Galaxy? These were new challenges to my skills.

Also made a VBS mascot one year. Everyone loves a 6'3", 225 Lb penguin, right!?!

Of course! But what is VBS? Very cute costume!

Awesome!

VBS is Vacation Bible School. We have it every summer at church. I only made two mascots. The penguin and Cooper the dog. Then I put a stop to it. That is sheets of foam in the head and feet of the animals and very hard to sew. Also afraid of messing up the machine. They have reused the dog and my son used the penguin for a Christmas party. That was funny.

The funniest thing I have made is a fur lined jock strap for SIL whose "jewels" were cold when he went skiing. It was made as a joke but he loved it.

I made a winter sleeping beauty dress for my daughter after seeing it online. It was pink and white with snowflakes.

I was a dill pickle for halloween one year. I ended being the pickle because I had alot of this dill pickle colored green fabric. I won the most creative costume prize!

Hey, I made giant Burt & Earnie heads from carpet foam. Hot glue worked fabulously and the heads were used for several years. I wouldn't be able to sew that foam.
