Nativity costume

[SilverSparkle]

Hi all,

Well, i have first ever costume to make. My 4 year old son is a wise man in his nursery nativity play.

I have no clue how to dress him for this, please help!!

Do you own a sewing machine?

I got a peice of material. Folded it in half. Lay my son on it in a T shape with his neck over the fold. I then cut round the arms and body and sewed it up. I left plenty of room for him to get in and out. It didn't take long and a belt finished it off okay. I think a nice bit of shiny purple will probably do it!

Hi Spoo, i haven't got a sewing machine but i can see if anyone i know does. Your idea is great! Thanks!

oh bother.
you reminded me.
am supposed to make a fancy dress thing for dds christmas horse jumping comp for the weekend

HTH sparkle - good luck. I never knew that the one term of sewing at school would prepare me for motherhood. Didn't even know that I could thread a sewing machine until I was faced with one again!!
