| My dad and I on My Wedding Day |
It has been a long 24.5 years
of being a Marine Corps brat,
but an even longer 30 years
of service to the Marine Corps
for my favorite
Master Gunnery Sergeant.
If you have not guessed who this is
It is none other then my Dad!!
In preparation for his weekend long
retirement festivities,
I decided to make a bunting banner
I call it "Semper Fi"
It is in its final stages, but not yet 100% completed
I started off using my sewing machine
but
I decided that my hot glue gun would be faster.
(This Singer was my Nana's)
All the materials that I used , I already owned.
1) Holey pair of my husbands jeans2) Pair of blue Dickie Shorts missing a clasp (Hubby's as well ;-) he is such a giver)
3) White and red shirts he no longer wears
The rest was pretty much up to my imagination.
A ton of ripping, cutting and gluing and it turned out great.
All that is missing is some good ol' country rope. (Still on the hunt)
SO this is how the panels turned out...
not bad for a pair of old
jeans, shorts and some t-shirts!
Photo's of the finished project coming soon!
