Just some pics

Today is World Book Day dressing up at the bigger boys school.
I really wasn't in the mood for making complicated costumes, so we improvised with outfits we already had.
Sid is the prince from Sleeping Beauty. I bigged up the cutting down of thorny bushes and kept very quiet about the kissing of princesses, and so he was more than happy to wear his Knights costume we bought in Scotland last Summer.
Angus is a pirate from Treasure Island, with the help of some old pj trousers, stripey socks,a fat quarter of stripey cotton, Mummy's belt and some cardboard and aluminium foil. (This is his pirate face)
Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, thanks to to some gentle butt kicking from various people I kept my appointment with my doctor this morning. She was really quite lovely, and is organising some counselling for me. Of course there is a waiting list, but I do have (at least for mow) a small sense of relief having just taken the first step of talking to someone.

ReplyDeleteHiya Jeanette, I was wondering if you could give me some advice. Let me say first - I cant sew - lol But I have just bought a little sewing machine to learn.

It was half price £49.99 in the store so I couldn't resist. Anyway, where would you recommend for fabric, and also, is very cheap fabric more difficult to sew with. The temptation is to buy cheap stuff to learn, but then maybe that will make it harder, I don't know. I expect a cotton or cotton mix is one of the easiest fabric to handle.
Oh, and if you feel like putting up a tutorial called teaching nit-twit beginners to sew I would definitely read it lol.
