Costume making

I've been sewing non-stop all day, while Pellinor thumped and bumped and bustled, bringing the entire contents of the loft downstairs. The costume I've worn to Summerfest for the last two years was no longer suitable, since I'd grown out of the bodice (or grown away from? It had grown out of me? It had become too big for me, anyway) and thanks to last year's drench, the skirt was solidly encrusted with mud for the entire bottom 12 inches.

( This is the result )
