I have almost 'perfected' Wise Man 1's outfit; just need to sew down the pointy shoulders and make a cardboard crown, then he will be ready to strut his stuff!
I bought yards of the
Joel Dewberry - Lace print potentially for the Man Quilt backing, but then changed my mind, so this fabric was begging to be used...
 |
| No puckering gold thread in sight! |
I reckon it's regal enough, and dear son is happy to wear it, so that's a bonus!
I also spent this afternoon at school with the same young man, making clay tiles to decorate one of the outside walls - no prizes for guessing what we did...
 |
| Now I like a Tardis, and I like LEGO, but which one is better ... |
Having caught up with my emails and blog reading, I am now going to pull out my Emily Peacock 'Kiss' cross-stitch and get cozy in front of the TV, perfect end to a busy day xxx
Loving the wise man outfit!
ReplyDeleteHe`s the best turned out wise man I`ve ever met and by golly I`ve met a few!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a dapper wise guy if I ever saw one!
ReplyDeleteHe'll be the best dressed wise man by far!! Great job! Oh how I (don't) miss those days of making costumes!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteBest dressed Wise Man I ever saw! Gerat job Hadley, a crown will be a breeze!
ReplyDeleteThe wiseman with style. Now save that so that it can be converted into whatever they made the twins in two years time. If I saved the costumes I made then I wouldn't be remaking angel wings!
ReplyDeleteGosh, I bet none ofthe other wise men have designer fabric for their outfits! Ideal fabric though! The clay tiles are fab, both brilliant ideas!
ReplyDeleteThat is one handsome wise man. :) His costume looks great Hadley!
ReplyDeleteLol, wonder how many mums will be able to play 'spot that fabric line' :oD Glad you battled it into submission without the evil gold thread in the end
ReplyDeleteHe looks very proud of his new outfit! Hope he has fun being a "wise man" xx
ReplyDeleteThat is one hundred percent awesome!
ReplyDeleteVery cute wiseman--he DOES look very wise! I remember one year our son had to be a shepherd: "colorful yet humble." Um, what?
ReplyDeleteYou better watch it or you will get a job as fashion coordinator of the school play, Christmas pageant and the Spring Fling!
ReplyDeletehe looks like he is ready to adore the christ child. excellent stitching hadley!

ReplyDeleteGood going, love the pleat at the back, very sophisti-ma-cated...
ReplyDeleteOh and I like both tiles, but there's something about the simplicity of the lego one that's fabby!
That's such a great costume and I love those clay blocks!
ReplyDeleteThat is perfect fabric for the costume! I like both clay blocks, but the tardis is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteLove the costume - his teacher is going to be very impressed and you might win a prize for best costume (hand made section)! The clay tiles are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat is one very wise man! Great costume!
ReplyDeleteWhat a well dressed Wise Man!
ReplyDeleteI still have little ones clay tiles in kitchen drawer waiting to be put on wall -the trouble is they have already left home! Do it now!
