Getting (in) Mike Rowe’s Pants is amazing, awesome, and inspiring. It gives me the opportunity to express my creative side, and raise money for mikeroweWORKS!
And we have even found a way to mix adult humor in with all the talk about pants, zippers, and tools.
Paying attention to details allows your work to shine.
For example: I am working on a Tool Caddy. Measurements need to be taken into consideration. Knowing the average length of a man’s tool is 5 3/4″, I have decided that is how deep the pockets need to be…width is yet to be determined…
I just had this little gem posted to my timeline by one of my new friends, Shelby.
Is there not a question Mike has not fielded with dignity? He tries to skirt the issue, and he does it well. Love this! I thought I should have made the pockets a little deeper…Mike surely is above average in every other aspect!
Moving on to the next product:
We are adding some bling to the Carry All…Doesn’t the chain look like Chain Mail? Perfect tie in…after all Mike is considered a Knight in Shining Armor among many…and here is proof…
And that brings us to the Key Tab…
This is my first mock-up for the key tab. I should have cut the circle before I sewed it, looks a little square. Feeling the braid was a little too long, I measured it…
OMG! It measures 5 3/4″…I do not think I could have done that if I tried…
’nuff said…
And, would LOVE to know how to make the roses! ( as well as some of the other things you made. I have a couple pair of jeans laying around here just waiting to be turned into something useful!
The roses were not my own, same with the apron. I will post the links to The Quilt Cabinet again. As far as the ‘stuff’ I did design, I will be posting directions for the items I have created after Mike decides what to do with them. I do not want to take away from his reveal. I have lots of great plans as this progresses. Stay tuned…
I sure would love to see the rose up close. They would also look really good on a pair of denim shoes.
