Title: Pattern Makers I have an Idea for you.
Post by: Chachi on February 28, 2011, 03:49:28 pm: We here in the south have a saying (is when you fix something that isn't the right way to fix it) it is called Southern Engineering (kind of like when you use Duct tape to fix a hole in the garden hose or you use packing tape to fix/make a window in your carthat my friends is Southern Engineering at it's finest. So here is my Idear (lol)

I sign for the shop that says Southern Engineering done here or Southern Engineer __________fill in the blank I leave it up to you. I just think it would be a great pattern to cut for us Southern Folk.....

I always thought Mc Gyver carried a portable lab in his inside pocket right next to his Swiss knife.

nop - there is just a old chewing gum, some cigarette box paper - and of course the script ;D

may be this could bring some more ideas for patterns:

Waht Would MacGyver Do? (http://www.wastedatwork.com/view/what-would-macgyver-do.html) @ wastedatwork.com

...also search for that phrase on google, it is often used.
