Last week was Mr Cheeky Monkeys' birthday, and we celebrated in usual style for him, with Indian food, a baked cheesecake and something inspired by his sci-fi/fantasy geek side. This year, I made a snap decision to step outside of my comfort zone and tackled a sewing project of which I'm very proud.
As I said, Mr Monkeys is a sci-fi/fantasy fan, especially when it comes to Star Wars, Dr Who and Star Trek. So, inspired by a pattern in Tanya Whelan's Sew What You Love, I made him a Star Wars-themed necktie for wearing on his whimsical or super geek days.
I'm really pleased with how well the tie turned out (after some troubles with cutting the pattern to accomodate the directionality and orientation of my Star Wars fabric). And I'm also really pleased with how well the baked lemon birthday cheesecake turned out too! And now all we have to do is wait for the latest Star Wars film to hit Australia, and then we'll probably head out to see it as a family!
