If she only had a heart....


I know, I'm bad. It was not intentional that Jenna happened to be the one character from the Wizard of Oz that didn't have a heart...I was thinking more that if she really didn't want to be a Tin Man, she could pass for an Ice Princess. Either way, it suits her. I really do love my daughter, she is just a challenge. I have enough challenges in my life; I wouldn't mind one less.


Anyway, here is Jenna's costume. Taffeta is less than easy to work with...it snags often. It doesn't help when I just free handed this (no pattern) One side ended up longer so it doesn't lay real well...there is wire in the bottom, giving the hoop look, but that wasn't easy to work with either....the hat is a funnel covered with material...it doesn't stay on her head real well, but it will work well enough! Anyway, for a job that only took a couple hours, not too shabby....

Stop putting it, and yourself, down. I think you did a great job! Musta been all the practice you had when we were teens making our own, huh?

Thanks! I definitely think that making our own costumes helped me. I love doing this kind of stuff...I just wish I had more time...I was actually bummed when I finished. I wanted to make another costume. I know, I'm a loser!
