We went to Scarborough Faire the weekend, and Mike was finally able to wear his new Alsatian costume! It took me over 3 years to get it done (with about 2 3/4 of those years spend moldering in my to-do pile), but thank goodness it is finally finished!!! Now I can sew for myself again without all the guilt and mopey "I guess I'll wear this same old costume" comments from my man.
And if anybody is joining me from my Festive Attyre website, welcome! Hopefully I'll be better at blogging than I have been at webbing these past few years!
I am continually amazed how well you can make a costume that will not only fit, but will EXACTLY reproduce the look of a portrait. Mike should be very pleased.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great!!!! I spent most of my weekend working on John's outfit. Lol ..its not as fun sewing for boys but they need to be pretty too!!!
ReplyDeleteSeeing Mike finally get to wear the Alsatian costume after more than three years made me smile. The amount of time and patience behind finishing a sewing project can be surprising, especially when it sits unfinished for so long. I was busy sorting through my own tasks when I came across this, and it reminded me how satisfying it feels to finally complete something that has been waiting for attention. Even while trying to do my assignment for me, I would enjoy finding time for a creative project and making something memorable.
