That gave me a chuckle.

I had someone ask me to make a colostomy bag cover one time, had never seen the appliance, so require some research.

Doo-Rag for hubby to wear under his motorcycle helmet. They cost $15.00 in the store and only have a few pieces to take apart and replicate.

I made 35 little bear tails last year for my sons pre k class Christmas program. It was really cute. When they sang their last song, which was about a little bear, they all turned around shaking their bottoms with those bear tails pinned to there shirt hems.

About 30 yrs ago a lady brought me a pic from a catalog and asked me to duplicate. An apron that looked like a nude woman but the boobs removed to be the potholders. Laughed the whole time I was making that one.

This has been fun reading. It also got me to thinking. My name is Pam so one year I made me into a can of Pam Cooking Spray. I had an inspection seal,,,the Dr. who delivered my sons. approval seal,,,my husband and a large red cap head.
One year I took a bunch of yarn and made my son into a" STRINGTHING". I took the top of a shirt and covered it with yarn from neck to toe, the sewed yarn to a knit cap. All you could see was walking yarn,, multi colors. He won several awards with that one. Yes thanks for the memories

so many odd thnigs I have too many ideas and not all of them turn out. The latest design was for a customized mask for my father who has congestive heart failure and the cold and wind are too much. As he gives me feed back I will make adaptations and may him another- they live 2 hours away so it's not a quick fix. However my mother is a great sewer so minor adjustments she can do and let me know what needs t be done for future designs
