My Son Has Picked Up My Slack

I have not been active on the creative ends of things. I have been creative in directing others. Redoing a house can do that. Our kitchen cabinets are now in, our old floors are in the midst of being yanked out and the walls will be fixed and painted before the new pretty floors go in. And since it is the whole main level...and it is a bungalow...I have no more sew space at the moment.

Good thing my son has been duct taping things again so I have something to show off. I have shown his jacket - which is now sleeveless - his pants, his belt, his hat and his flowers. Now - shoes.

Yes, shoes. He took apart his old Converse for the template.

It even has his own logo...

And for the whole duct tape look....

My Son and Duct Tape

Manly crafting at it's finest. I'd say it's just a guy thing...but duct tape rocks! If I were to be stranded on an island, I would definitely want some. Although, if it were a warm island I may sweat too much in his shirt. Yes, I said shirt. Of duct tape. It even has a zipper.
Where did he get the notion to make one? No clue. I am not even sure if he knows. It does have some tweaking to be done...he is already planning the next one. He has allowed himself the help of his mom who had reminded him that she may know a thing or two about constructing a pattern :P He did do an awesome job for winging it though I must say.



And because he found purple plaid duct tape and just couldn't wait to use it....a belt. Which he has worn the past few days. It seems to hold up quite nicely. Looks cute too. Okay, not cute...he's a 14 year old boy, let's call it ruggedly chic.
