Tic Tac Toe

My challenge fabric is finished. Tic Tac Toe game and box done.

Tic Tac Toe

Hand sewing left to do to enclose the cardboard and to complete the box game of Tic Tac Toe.
The Oranges and Lemons game pieces including using the green beads and the pipe cleaners. I will post the finished project later on tonight.

Door Prize Challenge

I have decided to make a Tic Tac Toe Game with my Door Prize challenge using most of the things in my pack. The game will be on the lid of the game and the pieces held in the box.
The bottom of the box is the same shape as the top but a fraction smaller.
these will be the pieces, Not decided yet how i will make the shapes out of the fabric, but they will have the oranges and the lemons on top for the two players. I will be making 5 of each.
these fabrics will be used to make the lid and the grid.
The bright orange fabric will be the outer lower box fabric and the soft shade will be the inner lining of both the top and the bottom of the box.

Dress Ups

As promised, here are some pictures from Jonno and Renees friends Saturday Night House Warming Party. The theme i found out was called Extreme Japanese. Take a look at the Puffer Fish!! This girl did good! She did have a week though! They had Sumo wrestling too! Good fun was had by all, and these are but a few of the dress ups.

Dress Ups

At 9pm last night my son Jonno and his girlfriend Renee, came round and asked me if i could help them with some dress ups for a housewarming party for today. I am always up for a challenge, so at Midday today, Renee came with all her fabrics for some Sushi Prawns.
I used freezer paper to draw up a pattern, used her ribbon for stripes, sewed them up and Renee stuffed them with my fiberfill. Next came the waistband that has velcro strips on the ends, and Renee made her head band. Last but not least, Jonno has some chop sticks in his hair. We stopped off and Jonno came home with lunch of grilled fish and chips, and we stopped for a break at 2pm. Half an hour later we were back at it, and finished at around 4.30pm. I have just finished cleaning up and now it is 6.30pm. Time for dinner, Jonno and Renee went to go and get ready for their housewarming party. A Great Day!
