so apparently i miscounted and really there are 24 girls on my jv fh team. 24!!! what did i get myself into? the girls are great though, despite the fact that they frequently lose their mouthguards. sigh. at the championship game of the jv tournament, one girl even ran off the field after the start of the match, hunting around for her mouthguard. we played down a girl for a minute! i almost had a heart attack. naturally, i took it upon myself to put an end to this nonsense. each girl is getting a mouth guard pouch with her name on it! (note: i used iphoto and blocked out the school's acronym before the " '10." no worries, i'm ocd enough to know not to print things off-center!)
the material is from jimmy's high school graduation gown. grad gowns are huge. thus, lots of mouth guards bags can be made! i freezer paper stenciled the logo on with fabric paint. the side stitching includes french seams, where the ends of the fabric are tucked into itself. these bags will not fray nor will they come apart. the girls have NO EXCUSES now! i made a double draw string for the top so they can close the pouches to keep out the dirt from their nasty sports bags. the material is real thin, thus allowing the mouthguards to dry too! after i made the first 6 (3 at a time), i decided to start a mass production line.
it was quite efficient. i popped out the 2nd 6 in no time! 12 more left. perhaps i'll finish them this weekend...
