A little insight into our evening so far…

We have mislaid 2 pieces of fabric which we bought in June! Let’s hope they turn up otherwise we are a bit stuck 🤣

Caroline is working on one costume that has 14 components to it, and has completed 4 of these so far! 🤩

Ellen has just sewn 48 metres of fabric in 55 minutes! 😂😱😅 (and that’s for the bottom of ONE dame dress!) 👗

And sew it continues!! 🧵
