this was another project on the massive list i've been working on this week. my 3rd grader's class were docents for the morning at a local landmark, the pitot house, dressed as people who once lived or had something to do with the house. she was given the role of mother cabrini and we decided to sew an authentic looking costume. without a pattern. i was very excited that it turned out so well--and so was she! this is a picture on our way out the door. she was channeling her inner mother cabrini, trying to imitate the pictures we found on our google image search.
we also had to take one in the same position as the main picture we used, so we could create this side by side. i think she got her expression just right. she's definitely my little actress.
speaking of acting, here's one last shot of her while she was giving her presentation on the upstairs gallery of the pitot house. i love her expression and the way she's leaning into her speech--i snapped at just the right time! lots of sewing and figuring out how to put it together for such a short wearing time, but so very worth it.
have a great weekend!
