Hi there

I'm new to this forum and just wanted to pick your brains

I make flower hair accessories (when my 3 kids allow me)- I have planned to attend some school fetes this year and wanted to make some that may be appealing to the Mums for the girls to wear to school. I have already been asked to make them in a red gingham and also in a dark yellow gingham. I just wondered if you would take the time to tell me the colours of your childrens schools.

Many thanks in advance

We have Bottle Green for our school, and purple for a different one.

Navy blue here, blue gingham in the summer

Navy blue or royal blue or emerald green here.

Red gingham would do for me! Lots of the school around here wear blue gingham in the summer, so I would add that to your list.

Red and blue are the most popular I think.i don't know anywhere that wear yellow.

craftysmith · 29/03/2010 16:06

There are a couple of Schools in Southend where the uniform is Brown and Yellow, so the girls wear Yellow gingham dresses in the Summer months.

hippipotamiHasLost80lbs · 29/03/2010 16:33

The school in the next village wear yellow. For our school we would need red gingham for infants and green gingham for the juniors. In fact, dd could do with some bottle green gingham hair accesories, tell me more

craftysmith · 29/03/2010 16:38

Take a selection of colours with you, so they can pick them up for friends at other schools

NoahAndTheWhale · 29/03/2010 16:49

Red gingham here. I've seen green and blue locally as well.

craftysmith · 29/03/2010 16:53

Thanks Chippy Minton thats what I thought, at my sons school fetes there are often children and parents from other schools. I also thought I'd take lots of my materials with me so I can make more on the day if I need to.

Can't see your profile - you may need to make sure it is set to public.

clayre · 29/03/2010 18:40

our school is purple and turquoise, its really hard to get matching accesories.

CarGirl · 29/03/2010 23:22

what I really really want is stuff that doesn't fall out of their hair easily whether it be alice bands or scrunchies!
