DIY: Sew Your Man a Tater Tots Vest
By ModHomeEcTeacher
Nothing says "I love my man!" like a handmade Tater Tots vest and hat. A bachelor eating Tots night after night, a long distance relationship, what else could she do to seal the deal?
To sew this one-of-a-kind handmade dapper man-vest, she collected empty TT bags, stitched them together to make Tater Tot fabric, laid the pattern on top and cut out the pieces just like it was fine Italian wool.
* Note that the pattern even lines up on either side of the buttons. Buttonholes, too!! The entire vest was lined with a beautifully coordinating yellow poplin, which was also the fabric used for the back of the vest.
As a perfect accessory to the plastic vest, a once popular John Deere hat was restyled into an original, and most lovingly stitched, Ore Ida Tater Tots Topper.
But did girl get boy?

Thanks. I was going to hold off on it and try to upholster with Tater Tot bags, but I got excited to show this.
