I helped my sister make a doll that looked like her...lol...well it turned out a little funny. My daughter was going to be away fro a while(she was in the service) so she thought it would be neat to have her daughter have a mommy doll. We took a pic of her face with the photo fabric sheets so it had her real face on it.
I love all the different things people have done.

I am thinking the same thing - unless you consider halloween costumes - when my kids were much younger??

I made a sheath for my husbands deer hunting knife. I bought leather needles and he helped cut the leather and it is really nice!! Deer hunting starts on Saturday in Wisconsin!

When I was a little kid we lived in northern Wisconsin. The hunters all had to wear a red vest. My dad used to say it was so they could tell who all the drunks were - has it changed in 50 years?

I once made a bug screen for our car. I used my old sewing machine for
the job. Came out better then having it made at a car place.

My daughter got Bose headphones to block noise in her office, so I made ear protector covers she can wash to discourage ear infections. They looked like little shower caps to fit on each earpiece.

I made a gun rest for a co-worker once. He was so excited and it was just a piece of fabric with plastic beads inside it! LOL!

My daughter was going to Bolivia with Project Pacer and asked me to make scrub hats for the nurses in red, white and blue.

quite some interesting responses on this one.

Just talked to my daughter and she said "Mom, you made them because I got a rash on my ears from wearing the headphones."
In thinking back, I made a soft sculpture fire extinguisher in college, my mom made a cover of leatherette for my brother's trombone case. She also made over a hundred fifty dolls, of football players, cheerleaders, band members, with made-to-order hair and eye color, and number on football players jersey-as a band booster fund raiser. When my kids had their wisdom teeth out I made a contraption that held the ice packs in place, so they didn't need to hold them.This has to be the greatest topic I have ever seen here. This is one really creative group!
