Today I worked on George's Halloween costume. He is going to be a knight. Grandma picked him up the sword, shield and helmet at the dollar store this summer, with the stipulation that he save it for Halloween. It has not been easy for him, but he has. Today we made a tunic that he can wear over pants and a warm shirt. I totally scored on the heavy, sorta burlap fabric for $1 a yard at Walmart, and picked up some felt, stitch which and, cord to use as a belt. Normally, I would have left out the stitch which and just hot glued it, but alas the hot glue gun is packed. George and I browesed clip art for awhile looking for just the right thing to put on the front.
I'm pretty happy with it. I seem to only be able to "make" one kids costume a year, this year ended up George's turn I guess.
Another project was
mock sushi for Mallory's class tomorrow. I told both girls that they could pick a treat and bring it to class tomorrow for thier last day. Courtney picked doughnuts (hence the trip to the pit of dispair), Mallory rememberd these treats and thought they would be fun to share with her class. I'm going to have to make another batch tonight, there is no way the whole tray is going to wait for tomorrow afternoon.

ReplyDeleteUmmm, sewing? You must have missed the unraveling neck hole. If iron on felt qualifies me for mother of the year then sign me up!
