Three pairs of sequined gloves …

Three destroyed sewing machine needles …

Three lovely eighth grade girls with naked arms awaiting their three pairs of sequined gloves.

Three hours before the final Tea Dance dress rehearsal …

    ha! So funny (not for your nerves or machine though). They look great and I’m sure the girl’s loved them (and the teacher breathed a big sigh of relief).

    How many needles did you go through? Funny (probably not to you…sorry). I nominated you for the versatile blogger award today at http://wp.me/p25O5U-gj just because I like your blog. Good job.

    I had the same issue with a “mermaid” costume, made of the aforementioned sequined fabric. But she was eventually the cutest 4 year-old mermaid in the ‘hood.
