Kids packed off to bed before 7pm, and Tardis-making time for me!
I found a great picture here and used this as my 'pattern'. I had grand ideas of paper-piecing it, but I got all confused at the first seam, so just cut the fabric to size and made it up as I went along.
I printed onto some white Klona, and I think dear son is going to be pretty impressed!
Apologies for the dreadful photos - I will take more tomorrow for part 2, the finished item - no leeway here, it's his birthday on Thursday!
I was originally planning a 'crayon-roll' type affair, however the number, size and multitude of removable sonic screwdriver bits and pieces was making this a little tricky to plan out, so I am going for a huge zippy-pouch, about 9" x 12", and hoping it'll be bigger on the inside ;)
Further apologies to all non-geeks, this probably made no sense whatsoever xxx
Perfect sense - he is going to be well chuffed, it's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteBRILLIANT! ALLONS-Y!
ReplyDeleteMakes no sense, but Very Impressive!
ReplyDeleteHats off :)
LOVE!!!
ReplyDeleteLooking great! No doubt he'll be delighted!
ReplyDeletePure genius! I want one - the block and of course the real thing! Big Dr fans in this house - was practically brought up on Tom Baker! But only because I time travel....
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You'd have had a good giggle at my colleague's daughter, who stood in the middle of Buchanan St in Glasgow the other day going 'Oooh, ooh, mum look, a Tetris!' Yep, we have our very own blue phone box, and nope, at 18, she hasn't got past the word mix-up stage ;o)
ReplyDeletelove it!
ReplyDeleteIs the pouch going to be bigger on the inside?
heh heh heh
Serious kudos twine! He will be thrilled. Plus, will you pls have a word with my dd who is doing her "sleep is for the weak" act again this last few weeks. So jealous of your 7pm bedtime!
ReplyDeleteYou have crazy skills, woman! That thing is amazing, and I can't wait to see the finish!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! That is amazing!
ReplyDeleteWow. Pretty cool. Your skills continue to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, Hadley, this is perfect. He's going to love it!
ReplyDeleteHow clever are YOU!! No pattern...not paper pieced...made it up as you went along! Brilliant! If he doesn't love it, send it to me before you kick him out!!
ReplyDeleteVery amazing!
ReplyDeletei have to admit... it makes a little sense to me but i do love it and am amazed by your superior piecing skills! my hat is off hadley!
ReplyDeleteLOVE, love, love it!!!! I've been wondering where all the quilter-Whovians were.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what's going on, but your piecing is super and the printing excellent on the phone box!
ReplyDeleteYou never cease to amaze me...this is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteHadley, you have surpassed yourself! I think you should send a photo to BBC! Son is going to be the coolest kid in his class (and I bet you'll have requests for another dozen before Christmas!). Have you seen the Harry Potter paper piecing website?
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely fantastic! And I totally agree with Benta that you should send a piccie to the BBC!
ReplyDeleteHa ha love it!! I miss Dr Who!
ReplyDeleteThis is beyond cool. When I got to stand by a tardis and the door was open, I couldn't bring myself to look inside because I didn't want to not see a massive tardis interior!
ReplyDeleteHadders, you're the best! Your Little Man will be so thrilled!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Looks like the genuine article - clever girl! Jxo
ReplyDeleteLove it - but I wouldn't show the Beeb, they might get funny over copyrighted images!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is amazing!! Well done, your DS with be thrilled with it!
ReplyDeleteR x
Impressive however you did it! The attention to detail is fantastic, texty bits especially!
ReplyDeleteI am impressed - I would def have to paper piece something like this. My brain wouldn't have it any other way - it's not as mechanical as yours. Or maybe it simply doesn't function at full capacity. Regardless, I am impressed.
ReplyDeleteWell if your son isn`t impressed, I am! Hmm. Not sure that really counts. Great work Mrs G.
ReplyDeleteFreakin AWESOME. Lucky wee man! (big hugs to him tomorrow :-)
ReplyDeleteWonderful, certainly it will be bigger on the inside!
ReplyDeletewow!That is very very impressive.
ReplyDeleteYou already know I think this is amazing but I just wanted to tell you that I love the poster on the Tardis - what a fabulous detail!! Lucky boy!
