and my daughter has been frantically trying to find a costume for my grandson that will be delivered on time. It's sorted now thankfully.
It reminded me of times gone by when my three were little, and I worked, and had no help from anyone at all, and still I managed to make the required costumes and felt great when the homemade outfit was worn with pride (my pride :) by my child, and all the other outfits similarly so by classmates.
I'm not showing off at all, it's just what we did. Buying these outfits was not even a consideration for us mums back in the day :)
As an aside, his outfit is a onesie so it won't go to waste. I wish onesie's were around in those days.
Happy days !
