Spent a really pleasant day finishing Maddy’s mid summer nights dream dress for world book day at school . I was looking through my craft stuff and came across a box of red, pink and lime flowers which were ideal for attaching onto the dresses ribbon strands and neckline. The head dress was made up from the left over ribbons and flowers. I hope it fits and isn’t to long or worst doesn’t fit. I’m taking it down to her this Wednesday and really hopes she likes it.

My sis in-law has been in touch and asked for help with a fancy costume for my nieces World book day at school in Early March. I said leave it with me and now I’m so exited that I have spent most of the day fiddling about and stamping a piece of fabric to make it from. Yesterday a good friend said she had some jersey that I could have so I stocked up on trimmings and ribbons to decorate it and away I went today. So far I have stamped images of flowers and leaves over the top of the square fabric acquired to make it look more forest like ( the book my nice has chosen is “a mid summer nights dream” and she wants to go as one of the woodland nymphs.) I have also painted an old head band which I will customise with flowers and leaves wired to it. eBay has found me some yellow tights and a cheap lime green t shirt which I will also paint and alter. Along with some woodland bangles and a necklace that I need to quickly create. This will complete the look.
So far I have cut the dress out stamped and glittered it and am just starting to add the ribbons to it. I just need to then sew the two side seams together and that’s it. I am not sewing the shoulders together as my friend had the good idea that my sis in- law would then be able o tie the shoulders as straps, therefor she could adjust the if needed.
Check it out so far.
