sewing paperbags

Never would I have thought I'd sew tear up a sweatshirt so it's pieces along with pieces of a paper bags to a torn up t-shirt.

Nope.
Never thought I'd see the day.

However, Saturday was that day.

David, for Itamar's birthday party (you can see his birthday card I sewed here) was "Post-apocalyptic Itamar".


Actually, everyone dressed up as Itamar. The beard David is wearing I had crocheted for myself while on the ferry on the way to the party.
It was of course, not very comfortable, but David was actually quite eager to wear it making the costume so much better.

So yes this is what an skilled 55 minute costume sewing job and a 20 minutes of crocheting can do for a person.

I hope I'll spending more time on projects in the future. I also hope I'll know about costume parties further in advance next time. 24 hours just isn't enough time.

You can see the spread of snacks we had for the party over at Transported Tastes.

I can give credit to my Step-Mom Shellie for the delish Cheese Ball Recipe, which I should put on line because it's that yummy. However the Bacon Hamantaschen was a Bethany original. I don't think I even knew what a Hamantaschen was until Saturday. So thanks for that Bethany.
