Being an astronaut DDDDUUUUHHHH

on May the 14th is was my bestests birthday.

she had a fancy dress party and i just love fancy dress so much

it makes me feel fancy.

so i thought i could literally be anything

ANYTHING IN THE WORLD.

i thought of wearing my fringed buck skin vest oo

and i could be a cowboy, wearing a snazzy check shirt and some boots.

but obvi i decided against that because i like creating work for me to do.

im a wally wombat.

it took time to figure out exactly what i wanted to be but as u can guess from the title i was an astronaut.

my mums boyf is a builder and has some white overalls from B&Q.

it was only a fiver so i went and bought one and got working on MY SEWING WOAHING MACHINE

heres the sexy final result

 i used a duvet cover i found in my charity shop which had printed on it planets and rockets.

i cut a circle out of it, then cut it in half and sewed the halves on wither side of the zip.

i then used a ribbon and tried to copy the NASA logo.

 

i also made that swanky pinata shes about to bash in the style of a space helmet.

if there was a fancy dress award ceremony i'd cry and have a speech thanking my mum and dad and god and niel armstrong.

 thats my friend robyn, who didnt dress up but could pass for a witch, me, lisas boyf father christmas chris and the birthday girl herself lisa as a cat.

 

heres a closer look babes:

linking up with Handmade Thursday.

i've missed the last two, hope im greeted with open arms :]]]]]]]
