Friday 24th August......
Jade's school did the Book Week Parade this year.... last year they didn't dress up for book week...this year they had to dress up as a character from a book - who was also a "Champion" - it took a bit of convincing to get Jade to not want to go as Snow White.... so we decided on Robin Hood....
Of course, I'd forgotten about this til the day before - and went "ahh.... crap!" - so Holly and I went out shopping to buy stuff to make the costume...
A beanie to make the hat...
Testing it before sewing it...
Everything made and set out for Jade to wake up....
Cute new boots that just completed the outfit....
One very happy little Robin Hood....
Jade happy with her fake arrows..... courtesy of coloured feathers, a pringles can wrapped in cardboard and sticks....
The bow was made from plaited sticks and tying string....
Just too cute....
I hope I always have this enthusiasm for all future costumes, especially when you see their faces when they're all dressed up......
