Another last minute costume - I had pinned several that I liked and had to work it round what materials were available yesterday when I went to buy them. The result - Robin.
It was for a fancy dress competition today, but unfortunately my daughter wasn't placed. She was happy though and loved the costume, which was good enough for me, and she got lots of compliments.
The costume itself was incredibly easy, and I did it in one night. The skirt is just a simple no sew tutu, and the top a piece of lycra material sewn into a tube. I then sewed 2 straps on to tie round her neck, just to avoid any embarrasing accidents, a piece of yellow and black felt made the detail on the body, and the mask. Some matching ribbon for her hair and she was ready to go. All I was missing was bottle green tights/leggings which would have finished it off. Still, I thought it turned out great.
You're a bit of a dapper costume designer Kirsty I think a road trip is in order next time I need one for the kids :-)
