Refashioning - Boys Can Sew!

I've always wanted to get my son involved in refashioning but never had the chance to until last weekend. At the beginning of the year, he told me he wanted to learn how to use the sewing machine  and I was very happy that he mentioned it (although secretly I think it's because stepping on the pedal is very much like driving a car!)!

So, we ended up doing some cutting, painting and a little bit of sewing.  Two hours later, we ended up with a "new" pair of shorts, a very happy kid, and a proud mummy. This is an easy peasy project.  Click below to read more!

I went for another Maker Nite at Sustainable Living Lab (SL2) as I had a great time last month making the cardboard lamp. This time we made lamps out of glass.

My friend, Nausicaa, came up with this poster using artwork by faerienymph and somniumstock [see credits below]. What do you think?
