Textiles class, and Wolfy's bright idea.
I have written of Wolfy before, but don't know how to link on here, so if you are that fussed, search for it. He is the one that had red hot tongs stuck up his arse by a bully, but I digress...

Fuck knows why, but our DT classes involved a term in textiles, and a term in woodwork.

The textiles project involved making a magazine cover, and making a free gift that could be made in the textiles calss to go on the front.

I used to like drawing cartoons, so I based my comic on one of my characters - a sailor of some kind, I can't remember the details... Busy working on this, the free gift came as a bit of an afterthought, but I decided upon making a small stuffed sailors hat.

Glances at other people's ideas turned up superhero comics and subsequent superhero dolls, a michael jackson magazine with free glittery glove, and Wolfy's magazine: Pencil world.

Oh how we all mocked him, as he lazily coloured in his magazine cover. "Pencil world? Pah! what a geek!" We all said.

Magazine covers finished that lesson, and work on the free gifts began the next week.

Making the hat was a fucking ball ache, and the damn thing had to be finished by the end of the lesson. Boys don't belong on sewing machines, and I made a complete fucking mess of it, and jammed a needle deep into the nail of my index finger - pissing blood all over this stupid little fucking hat. One trip to the nurse (who was a fox I might add) and more fucking about with the sewing machine and I'm finished after about 3 hours. The hat is a mess.

Other people have faired the same. Stitching MJ's glove together was not an easy task for Rajinder. It looked like Jeremy Beadles 5 year old had made a glove for his dad to wear, and took the piss by making some fingers longer than others, and had covered it in glitter to boot.

The superhero doll looked wank, and then all eyes fell of Wolfy.

He had gotten two pieces of material, about the same size of a pencil, and had simply sewn both of them together by hand. Took him all of 15 minutes. He slipped a pencil inside, stuck it to the front of his magazine, and carried on doodling in his pad he took everywhere with him.

He got good marks for it I remember, and barely lifted a finger.

The KISS rule was applied here and no mistake. Wolfy, I salute you.
