Sew Cute!

Little Jester.



The Medieval Carnivale is on in Balingup on August 25th and 26th.

I thought I would dress Roh as a jester so had a go making him a costume this morning. So far just finished the hat and pants but I am so proud of it and I think it is groovy enough for him to wear all the time. Its made out of felted wool that I had left over from my nappy making days. I think I will make a vest to go with it and then add bells to the hat. I 'll post a finished pic when it is all done.
Such a cute model!


Jester becomes renaissance kid.


After playing with the vest I decided that he didn't have to be a jester at all but just a medieval kid. I think he looks sooo trendy. Wore the pants to school to pick up the others and heaps of people commented on them. Oh gloat!!!

This is a close up of a groovy stitch I did around the whole vest to add some detail. I love my sewing machine.A top view of the hat. This was my first attempt at a hat and it was surprisingly easy. Now I can make up a batch for summer.

So all in all a productive day.

Oh and I got my costume ready too. Using the dyed template of my wedding dress with the addition of a vest to cover the fact that it doesn't do up over my big belly :) Pictures of that another day!
