Tired of your husband sitting around gathering dust? Make a cozy for him! This is a great project to use up those fabric scraps and try your hand at patchwork.
Supplies:
- Spouse (husband, significant other, girlfriend, partner)
- Crazy glue
- Extra sharp scissors
- Chewing gum
To get the head measurements just right, have your spouse lie down directly on the fabric while you cut around his head with a pair of large, sharp scissors. Careful around the ears! Next, keeping the spouse’s head inside the fabric, take it to your sewing machine and sew around the head for a snug fit. Cut any loose hairs that peek through the seam.
And finally, put your new cozy on display! You can put him on the shelf or have him out for the kids to view. This would also make a fun papier-mâché project; just be sure to add air holes.
Happy April Fool’s Day! No husbands were harmed in the making of this cozy.
Love it! Can’t wait to stitch one up!
TOO funny! I had to share that one on Facebook!
Fabulous!
I find if you slip a little codeine in his coffee, he’ll remain sedated long enough to make this *really* easy.
LOL! I could use one of those sometimes!!!
funniest idea ever! thank you for this hilarious post!
Best project ever. I had to link to you on my blog!
haha!

Funny! I did a fools day post today too, come check it out if you get a chance!

Oh I like this!! I’m going to make a matching set of my husband and both sons – I’m sure they’ll be positively thrilled! 😉
Thanks for the laugh!
I tried this right away. For my husband cozy, I used an iron-on transfer image of Johnny Depp for the face side and an image of lots of luxurious hair on the back. Love it!!!

Is it bad that I wish this wasn’t April Fool’s Day?

I love this. Can you do a tutorial on how to remove his butt imprint from the couch?
He looks as though he’s being held hostage by the local quilt guild! I do love the instructions…
Are the air holes optional?
