Costume Workshop Part 2

Back again, this time we got right to it making costumes. As always, at any workshop you can drop by and work on your own project with our tools- so Amy came to do some hemming and button repair- and then helped make a fish tail to go with the fish head cape. We finished the black cloak for our Dungeonmaster and the teens were inspired by a huge tulle former bed decor to make a cape and an instant jellyfish costume. We did some research into napkin folding and made a pollinator garden hat to go with the butterfly wings.

Check out my latest Value Village finds- a collection of lovely old thread and a bag of zipper and bias tape, so the bunting workshop is on!

More show and tell- Amy brought this old time-y sewing kit, called a Chatelaine (the namesake of the Canadian magazine Chatelaine) All the threads wind around a centre core, where your needles are stored, and your thimble keeps them in.
