diy

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a nice weekend.  Recently, I wrote about Andy’s birthday weekend, and the gift I got/made for him (DIY liquor cabinet and some of his favorite drinks). I actually had another mini gift for him that I didn’t share in my last post. I was not sure if it’d be appropriate to post this. It’s supposed to be a joke, so don’t be put off..okay?

When we lived in Philly, we would take mini day trips to Wild Wood,NJ during Summer. Wildwood was the closest beach available and Andy loved it because it was his childhood vacation spot. Has anyone else been to Wildwood? What did you think? The beach itself is alright, but the most enjoyable part of WW is walking down the 2 or 3 mile long boardwalk. There are shops selling clothes, food there are carnival games and other fun summer type stuff. During our last couple of summers we began to see stores selling T-shirts and shorts that had the slogan “Mike’s B*tch” or “Randy’s B*tch” or some other man’s name b*tch printed on them. Andy used to say “hey babe you should wear that”.

So, as a good wife, I thought Andy would enjoy it if I made him a pair of shorts. So now I am “Andy’s B*tch”

I had this polo shirt stretch fabric that works well as work-out wear. I made these shorts. Very easy, only three patterns: front, back and waist band. I whipped it out in less than half and hour.

I got the alphabet plate from 100 yen shop, and used it with wash-resistant stamp pad. It turned out that the pattern plate was too thick, and the ink didn’t get to the fabric. So instead, I traced the alphabet on piece of paper, and cut it out using paper knife. Then, I stamp the letters to the shorts and ironed it.
