Look at me sew!

It was book week
School had 'dress up day'
DD decided she wanted to go as Alice in wonderland
Alice costumes were either to expensive or I couldn't get them in time
My mum (who sews) was on holiday
I don't sew.

Argh.

I had no option than to make her one.
I bought a blue top
I made a blue skirt. (I 'll just say I'm glad it stayed together & covered her bum all day lol)
I made an apron too & that I will share with you. I am actually quite pleased. It started life as an overshirt ... actually that can't be true can it? It must of had a life before that. But anyway .... I made the patteren up as I went along. I'm sure the sewers amongst you will be shaking the heads in dismay but I'm happy, DD was happy & it covered the skirt

Its FAB Storm

I can't believe we bought our sewing machines at the same time and you're making REAL things while I'm still just sewing lines on the occasional card lol!!
