How the sewing began: Bird Costume

As mentioned in a previous post, I made son #2 a costume for last year's carnival. It was a very stressful experience for me, as before I avoided the sewing machine like the plague before then. After having finally finished the costume and seeing son #2 thrilled to bits, I decided that it was time now to get a better grip on things regarding sewing with the machine.

The bird costume was made out of teddy fleece and felt feathers. The mask was a decorated Zorro mask with an egg box  beak ;-)
