Sewing is good?

Sometimes I use stick pins of all sorts to make parts for my models. This example is one that was fun to do. the kit shifter was broken so i used a stick pin with the teardrop knob and stuck in dremel and shaped the shifter handle. bent the shaft and dremeled a boot , viola! *click photo to see it*
(ignore the floor and stuff, that all needs cleaned up...glue bomb rebuild here)
