can u dig it - part 345454677867857564655354354526525234243243

hot on the heels of completing my first assignment for garment construction at cit, i decided to make a tool belt for oskar. it has hoops for his plastic screwdriver and hammer and a pocket for his tape measure. i even machine embroidered "diggy man" onto the waistband. he loved it, put it on and proceeded to find all the loose screws in the house to repair. here he is mid-swing fixing the front door jam. he is wearing a green cable sweater knitted by nana j.

now to my bag: denim provided by school, sea scouts, hughes and lining fabric found in discard basket from fashion design students, red felt crown made by me. bag features camo pin cushion pocket, scissor and thread clipper compartments, pockets for miscellaneous items - awl, needles, industrial bobbin cases etc, and a pocket on the lining so that when i am in class i can set my phone to vibrate and get calls from alex about the kids if he needs to contact me. sooperb!!!!!

oh, and only 4 weeks to go until i am a qualified industrial machinist...
