Red Riding Hood's Ready!

Last week I mentioned that Little p had Book Week at school coming up....... Well the event is upon us and I was feeling under pressure to finish her 'Little Red Riding Hood' costume.

Wednesday is dress up day and all the children in the school are to dress up as a famous book character. Little p could have chosen a pirate, a fairy from a princess book, or a vet, as she has dressing up outfits already for these characters- but no, she insisted on Little Red Riding Hood. So it was out with the scissors and sewing machine and today I got to work making her costume......

The cloak was made from an Ikea red fleece throw that I bought for just £2.79 and the apron was made from one of Mr B's old dress shirts, so it ended up being quite an economical outfit. Here's hoping it manages to stay in one piece and mess-free ready for the big day on Wednesday!
