    Default Husbands old shirts
    My husband was just going to throw out the shirts because they had holes in the elbows.... Silly silly guy. Here is what I made so far and what I have left over... Oh, and if you look closely at the second one, you will see they are all shirt pockets that will be filled with matchbox cars and given to my nephew.

    Silly silly man indeed! The pockets are going to make great garages from your nephew's cars. That star block is one of my favourites.

    Silly men is exactly what I was thinking. They are wonderful. I love the idea of using the pockets and putting cars in them. What a great Christmas gift that would be for a child. One more day to Christmas. I don't think iI will get one whipped up in time.
