Luckily all the glue you can see below dried out clear. Working with glue turned out a lot less hazardous than with the hot glue gun.
Now it’s up to the young designers to decide what else to add to their garments.
I also did a little sewing on my other grand-daughter’s friend’s long gown. She didn’t end up with exactly what she wanted, no way was I agreeing to having anything to do with a 12 year old wearing a tight, slinky dress, but she was happy with the result.
My daughter-in-law is a saint, she has paid for all the materials in the girls’ outfits. And, no doubt, found a few grey hairs after a weekend of four 12 years olds and Georgia all wanting their costumes made.
You are a sainted grandmother - and a talented one. I hope we'll see photos of the finished costumes.
ReplyDeleteI was just going to say that your daughter-in-law doesn't sound like the only saint! In the Hebrides we have a saying that old age doesn't come alone. Neither does being a grand-mother apparently!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteThat looks great! Glad there are satisfied customers! You are the perfect Nan (next to me, of course!!)

Thanks for coming to my blog a while back. I went on a trip shortly afterwards and could not make it to your blog. I read several of your posts and find your blog delightful.
ReplyDeleteYou have a large family. My mother was an only child, my father had one sister who lived in Egypt and I was brought up alone. Now when I go back home to France I only have one cousin (her grandfather was the brother of my grandmother.) I have two grandsons (4 and 2) and we are expecting another grandson in July – sewing with them would not be as much fun as sewing for girls I imagine.
Your area is beautiful – I love the mountains. I have never been to New Zealand but it’s on my list. Thanks for coming to my blog and leaving a comment. Please come back anytime you wish.
The award for Grandmother of the weeks goes to Pauline. I think you have started something here Pauline,soon you will be making them for the whole school!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy sewing.

Pauline - I think you're the saint to be helping the girls with their designs but I can tell you're really enjoying the process and that the girls are too. What a terrific idea. It sounds like this happens every year. Good luck to them all!
ReplyDeleteIt is fun to be following along on the progress of the girl's outfits. I am really looking forward to the final modeling session.
