Thursday 10th September to Monday 14th September
The kids school concert was coming up again.. Blake's class had to be various Australian Animals.... Blake was a Magpie and Jaykob had to be a platypus..... I offered to help Alana with the Platypus costume as she was starting to freak and I had an idea in my head about how it would work.....
Front of the t-shirt.....
Platypus tail....
then it was time to start on the Magpie....
Jordy trying to "help"
After doing the first wing, I thought Blake should try it on before I put in too much effort..... (this was my second shirt.... the first one lifted as soon as he moved his arms.... and I'd made a pocket at the end of the wing for him to put his hand inside.....
And we're done! (well, the sewing part.... but, he's not a crow... so it needs white!)
Back to Jaykob's costume..... I wanted to make a platypus bill to put on a cap.....
apparently he looked a bit like Daffy Duck... but.... that's ok - he can go as a duck-a-pus..... :)
Now... Blake's hat....
And vinyl pressing some white onto the costume....
(Heat Press and Vinyl makes for easier costumes than trying to either sew white on - or paint it)
The tail....
Ta-Daaaah!
(I was quite impressed with my efforts..... he actually looked like a magpie!)
