Why stop at a Snuggie?

Of course my friend Ruth was able to find the material used to decoupage the tray table in my last post. And of course the company selling the fabric is J&O Fabrics. I really enjoyed the overview of the product:

Construction Guys is a designer fabric for the ladies featuring pin-up guys for a change. Although I personally find this fabric to be absolutely unnecessary, here it is for you to purchase. The print of this here quilting fabric consists of half-dressed men shamelessly exposing themselves during what must be their lunch break. These men have good complexions because true construction workers recognize the value of exfoliating after pouring cement. The construction guys are frolicking with drills and stuff over a white background with a blueprint design.

Please notice that another option is pin-up cowboy fabric and pinup policeman fabric. Of course all of these are out of stock. It's got me thinking though, why stop at just a Snuggie? The possibilities are endless. The pin-up policeman overview suggest that you "make accessories, pet clothing, draperies, lampshades and other decorative items." And if you make can make draperies from this, why not take a cue from the Sound of Music and make lederhosen and dresses?
Hopefully, this provides you with some inspiration, Lizzy House.

  3. I was rather shocked at how easy it was to find, and was also curious about how the fabric seemed to be in high demand. I also think it would be great to make shirts out of it, and wear it for casual Friday. Hopefully they could introduce a Hawaiian themed version so you could wear it to all sorts of luau's, for work and better yet, to that next church party!!
