Motivation
After making the pattern and then cutting out and pinning together the main part of the outfit the project got put on the backburner for a little bit as we moved house and got settled in a new area.
Lucky those chest straps were made a little bit longer because Honey grew and grew!!
The outfit came back into the spotlight in the leadup to christmas when Honey tried on the previous year's christmas outfit and it was WAYYY too short!!
Honey's looking to see why her bum is so breezy!
Mum originally adapted this costume from one of the little kid dresses you can get from Big W around Christmas. She cut the skirt and the wings off and put them on a basic green coat she made in the same shape as Beau's tuxedo. It was even the same size as the Beauxedo which fitted her back then!
The green of the costume is made with the same stretchy fabric I battled with on Honey's Fairy costume. Mum was able to put all her experience to good use though and wrangle it into the shape she wanted it without too much difficulty.
Looking back it was a tiny bit too short, but nothing like it was this year!!
The two little munchkins all dressed up. Honey (left) and Beau (right) won best dressed at the Greater Western All Breeds Obedience and Agility Club's Christmas Fun Day!!!
I found the deadline to Christmas was a brilliant motivation and the whole costume progressed a whole lot quicker from here on.
