This post is for any mums that have had to think of and conjure up an outfit for World book day.
Todays picture is not of what I'm wearing but of my eldest. Can you guess who he is yet?
I actually got the sewing machine down from the loft determined not to suffer the same humiliation of the last minute.com outfit I put together for him last year. It's a pressure we put on ourselves, I agree, but I have a fashion degree to my name and own not just a sewing machine but an over-locker!(I know for those that know), so thought I had the necessary tools to give it a bit more effort.
So armed with an after 8'o clock glass of wine I set to task and this is what I've come up with. Thank goodness for Google as I realised I didn't have a hairband to attempt some ears and after a few hours beavering away decided a printable mask was more than acceptable.

It's a nod to my sewing skills for all those that guessed correctly but next time I'll definitely be tempted to pop into Tesco Extra.........if only for another bottle of wine!
