OK, so here are some sunny pics of dear son's new Sonic Screwdriver case...
I based it on the numerous zippy pouch tutorials that I have pinned, picking and choosing the best bits to make a 9"x12" finished case.
I stitched in the ditch (well almost) along some of the seams around the Tardis to attach some thin cotton batting, giving it all a bit more 'body'.
The back fabric is the same Kona Windsor as the Tardis, with some grey pinstripe quilting, backed again with batting.
Geek alert The 10th Doctor (David Tennant) is dear son's favourite and wears a pinstripe suit - when I quilted the man quilt, his first comment was 'oh it looks like the 10th Doctor's suit', so what else could I do!?
I only had a 7" zipper, so I extended the end tabs to match the size of case I wanted, and it all adds to the 'bigger on the inside' illusion! The lining is Kona Orange.
I added the tag on the side, because where else will he keep the key to the Tardis?
Fez's are cool, but will no longer be needed for storage!
The Birthday Boy will get this and too much more in the morning xxx
Agh!! Insanely perfect! You'll definitely be the coolest mom around for a while!
ReplyDeleteSo cool!! Love it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right to be proud, that tardis is bl**dy brilliant! x

ReplyDeleteThis is Excellent! I'm excited for him because he's going to go MAD when he see's this!!!!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww I really really love this! Actually envying a wee boy his birthday pressie... shameful... your fault! :-P
ReplyDeleteIt's fantastic! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are so cool! I am totally impressed :) I already emailed a link to my boyfriend and pinned it...LOL :)
ReplyDeleteit is so cute. i bet he is so excited when he opens it up! and i googled tardis... it is a time machine! AWESOME! wouldn't that be awesome if you could go forward in time to watch him open it then go back in time and watch him open it again! you could go back and forth forever! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazing I am at a loss for words. Right down to the words printed on the faric, every detail is perfect. How on earth will you top this for his next birthday?!!
ReplyDeleteO M G ! You are just awesome! The coolest mummy ever! It's Tardis-Tastic! Must see a pic of his beaming grin when he see's it along with a look of disbelief!
ReplyDeleteOK had no idea what a tardis was but now that I do- you are such the cool mum! Awesome pouch and just amazing sewing skills Hadley. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI love it when you have such a fab pressie you can't wait for the recipient to get it! The boy has taste - David Tennant was my fave doc too.
ReplyDeleteOh to be 7 and have such a talented mummy!! He's going to be thrilled!
ReplyDeleteWell done you :)
please make one for me oh raggedy lady :) this is perfection! lucky boy.
ReplyDeleteYou are so amazingly inspiring, I'm sure that the birthday boy will love it.
ReplyDeleteOkay - now I`m feeling totally inadequate. Amazing Hadley - what a lovely mum you are.
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! Fabulous! He's going to be chuffed to bits with that! The other kids will be wanting them and you'll be uninundated with requests from begging mothers :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic gift!!!! Great job. I think I get it now that you mentioned the doctor as in Dr. Who? right?
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat gift, he is going to love it!
ReplyDeleteYou have done an incredible job of this! Time to make and pattern and start selling!
ReplyDeleteNever mind the other kids - I want one and David Tennant may want one too! Then all the other Doctors will want their Tardis immortalised in fabric! Methinks you will need the time machine to keep on top of all the requests!
ReplyDeleteBut the best thing will be your sons jawdropped face when he sees it! Love his collection BTW!
Hadley it's brilliant! Totally love it, fab job you :-) hope you had a great mummy moment when he opened it!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great. That's one lucky little boy you have.
ReplyDeleteI am sure he will be well pleased! Can't wait to see some birthday pictures.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely brilliant...you deserve to be proud of this!
ReplyDeleteI have drooled on my keyboard!!! You are so clever (major Mummy points there) can you pleeeeease adopt me? *looks pathetic* Pleeeease?
ReplyDeleteP.S. My WV is "fanom" which is almost a fanomanom. Doo-doooo be-do-be!! (muppets!)
That looks fab, and definitely showing 'mummies at the gate' worthy, hope he's having a great birthday!
ReplyDeleteIt's fabulous! I bet he was thrilled this morning! Happy birthday to the Dr Who fan!
ReplyDeleteIt's sooo fabulous!!! I love it when craft looks so streamlined, professional and cool - that's what it's all about!
ReplyDeleteNot long until he gets a Crimbo episode where we all try and figure out what on earth is going on!
I'm so jealous! I want one too. :)
ReplyDeleteOk, after consulting Wikipedia I now know a tiny bit about Dr. Who (sounds cool but for some wierd reason it never really made it in Germany) but still no clue about Sonic Srewdrivers ;-) The pouch and the piecing is just perfect!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteIs it bigger on the inside? :)
