WOYWW

It doesn't seem five minutes since last week but here we are again - sharing our crafty activities with our WOYWW buddies.

I actually managed  a day playing with my new sewing machine - well, I was given a challenge and just had to go for it!!

Apparently "The Greatest Showman" is very popular in our family at the moment and I was asked to make a Ring master's jacket and Zendaya's acrobat leotard.
So here are the before and after transformations.
 This is the Willy Wonka coat pinned ready for upcycling

 This is the finished Ring master's tail coat. I just hope it fits. It is a secret birthday present so I couldn't do any fittings.

AND the lovely Zendaya has a jazzed up leotard for her outfit. Again - no fittings so fingers crossed, it fits.

Now I need to go and tidy my room so that Tilly can get to work there today.

I hope you are all well.
Not long till the "crop" - we are looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it.

    Wow, those are genius! You have such a knack for creating amazing costumes - honestly, you could sell them on Etsy. I haven't seen The Greatest Showman but have played some of the music from it at band! Looking forward to seeing you very soon - hooray!!!

    Congrats on a new sewing machine, it has worked some magic with your beautiful projects. Where or where is time going? Kids growing up so fast and keeping so busy. Enjoy a great week Happy WOYWW

    I’m guessing these are for twin brother and sister! The Greatest Showman didnn’t appeal when I saw it but children seem to love it.
