Tardis - part 1

I did it!!

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

  5. Very 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)

  16. Hadley, 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?

  19. This 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!

  24. Impressive however you did it! The attention to detail is fantastic, texty bits especially!

  25. I 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.

  26. Well if your son isn`t impressed, I am! Hmm. Not sure that really counts. Great work Mrs G.
