Check out the theme for this week’s challenge here. Trish and Kim always come up with some good ones.
This prompt was unbelievably perfect for me this week.
We lost a very special man last week, a in law member of DH’s family. He was a sweet, intelligent, artistic man who loved music, played in a band, was an incredible blacksmith, loved golf and being involved in both family and community.
His oldest stepdaughter and I are very close so I asked her opinion on an idea I had. Then I garnered her help to smuggle something out of the house her stepdad and his wife lived in.
After some measuring, cutting and sewing I ended up with this;
Dan loved his plaid shirts, always worn with a grey T-shirt underneath; flannel in the winter and cotton in the summer. This particular shirt was the one he was wearing his last day on the golf course last summer.
I was able to get it finished and delivered today.
Now his wife has a comfort pillow to cuddle when she needs a hug if none of us are around. I purposely left the pockets because Dan always had treasures in his pockets to be able to gift his loved ones. I also wanted to leave the collar on to show that I had made a liner of grey T-shirt fabric.
Thank you Kim and Trish for another wonderful prompt.
