WOYWW #333 Knickers?



Last week I was given a challenge to see what I could make from my 92yr old mum-in-law's disposable  knickers (unused obviously). Well here are my efforts. The material is an elasticated mesh making it a bit tricky to sew definite shapes. 


The snowman was easy - double layer rectangle made into a stuffed tube. Hat made from one of my old socks and a little hand knitted scarf.


Flowers were made using single layer over-locked circles with machine made cords. I did colour some of the fabric with transfer-inked paper but this was not very successful - I think the colour wasn't right. May try colouring it again some other time. 


Finally  I thought I would show you one of the finished books using Hungarian  stamps that I put on the blog a couple of weeks ago.

    Yep loads here another lot arrived this morning. She uses the pads but not the knickers. They make good cleaning cloths but I don't do THAT much cleaning.

    I had a giggle! I think the flowers came out OK. I love the book. Are the stamps real? Great idea!
    Have a great week,
