 When you clean up from a picnic or party do you find dozens of half empty cans? This quick project will help guests identify their can... and hopefully finish their can before getting another. Gather the materials: Fabric Scraps - 20" by 4 1/2" Batting or fleece - 10" by 4 1/2" 4" strip of 1" wide Velcro® or Hook and Loop tape Thread sewing.about.com/od/bagstotespurseproject/ss/canwrap.htm |

Yup We gots skulls with roses, Mater the truck, Bob the builder, can't forget the holliday ones, ones with flames, dancing skeletons, you name it and we gots it LOL ! everytime I run accross a cool print I buy a yard or two. Comes in handy when the guys Hubby works with want a certain print they cant find ( like nascar or their fav. football team) I just cant find any fabric with rebel flags on it yet for my boy!

Yeah, the Mrs and my Mom made several for me as I feel nekked without a do rag. The Mrs and I were shopping at Wallyworld one day when I saw some skull fabric and commented about having some do rags made out of it. I looked at several websites selling do rags and didn't really like any of them,so now the Mrs makes me some whenever these wear out ( which is often as I do wear them out fast!). The one I'm wearing in my avatar the Mrs made for me. I've been thinking about making a truckload of them and taking them to a bike rally at Cave In Rock,IL to sell or "trade"  That's actually a great idea Rat. I'm sure you know how much they're selling them for! You could have her to make some girly ones too for the biker chicks! Got a pattern? I have some material and want to try to make one. |

They are so simple to make suzy. I made some for a Navaho woman last year with Butterflies and flowers on them cause all she could find were typical manly patterns. I don't know how Ratt makes his but my pattern consists of 5 pieces. one top, 2 sides, and 2 for the head band part. I could make you a copy if you want. or Rat can. I know to buy the pattern in Wally world cost me 16.00 ( cause it had smock patterns in it also. I gave them to Mum in law...)
