snow and sewing

We returned home and opened Christmas cards, including a fun package from our C cousins.


I jumped into helping with the costumes for Shrek Jr., the school play.  E and I discovered that felt doesn't fray, and E is enjoying this fabric- new to us.

 9 tree skirts.  the 7 "deciduous" skirts were fun.  the evergreens required hand sewing each branch, and those 2 took a long time.
 Ms C stopped by to visit :)
 snow days!  a couple of late starts and one day cancelled. 
E and I both sewed away. he's now selling pencil wear and necklaces.
he was a good sport to let me try on all these pieces for sizing.  This is the bishop's tabard.


E and I made Daddy apple turnovers with leftover philo dough.



a patch on child ogre's goodwill pants
3 mouse bodies - goodwill sweatshirts, fleece circles and stuffed knit tails.
peasant tops for papa and child ogre
tweaked a previous production's peter pan vest
adding tails to rat bodies, ties to mouse hoods, making one rat hood, and one bonnet.


next time we need a peasant blouse, use this pattern. the one that she gave me in the first place instead of trying to meld 4 different online tutorials.
