So i know its been a while since mothers day but I really wanted to share this with everyone. I had been looking for ideas for what to get my mother-in-law for mothers day and I searched around online and found these cute bags made out of ACU tops (Army Combat Uniform). Well I really wanted to make one of these, because buying one was simply out of the question. I couldn't find a pattern so i just looked at the picture of the one i saw online and i guesimated about how big I was going to make it. First time around i cut it too big, better saft then sorry I say but i would have to say the finished project was great!! And She LOVED it. I knew she would, it had some extra special meaning because it was made from a uniform that Colin wore in Iraq... Stains and everything. Very cute. But now she has a bag that she can change patches on when Colin gains rank and moves units. Its great! Hey and if you know anyone that may want one... let me know!!

That is very cute, way to score points with the Mom-in-law!
Wow! That is such a great idea! I'll bet Cindie loved it!
I think this is the first time I've seen a craft you've made. You are so talented! Nice job.
