Jess absolutely adores this Julia Donaldson story, about a Princess who is kept in a tower, sewing cushions when she wants to be out there practising medicine. And Liz got tickets for the theatre production as a special treat
Everybody thought Jess ought to go in costume as Princess Pearl - but the doctor's coat I made for Rosie six years ago has gone AWOL. Fortunately the crown was still in the Dressing Up Box
So last week, I made another coat - using two old pillowcases, and a shirt pattern from my Pebble Mill Set bought 40 years ago.
A stethoscope was borrowed from the Manchester cousins.
The beloved pink " Grandma Dress" would definitely fit the bill. My machine embroidered two name tags [Dr Jessica and Princess Pearl] with velcro backs
Happy to report that the costume, and the production were both very well received!
Preacher, teacher, wife, mother, grandmother, craftswoman. Married to wonderful Pastor Bob since 1979, now happily retired to Norfolk, but still busy. I am blessed with two brilliant grown-up daughters and four wonderful grand children
Top Grandma! The costume looks great and so does Jess.

DeleteGrandma to the rescue😊. Job well done. Hope Bob is getting on ok. X
ReplyDeleteThank you. He is making progress, but doesn't always manage to "rest and take it easy"
DeleteWhat a wonderful costume! I am in awe of your sewing skills and creativity!
ReplyDeleteThinking of Bob. JanF
Clever Grandma and Jess looked fabulous in her costume. Hope Bob is healing well and resting as prescribed. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to attend in costume, thanks to Grandma Ang's help. Jess looks the part!
ReplyDeleteIt's very loving of you to do jobs where you can sit with Bob! This is a fabulous costume! Could definitely be reused for World Book Day! Kx
ReplyDeleteI had not thought of that. I've already done Rosie's Peanut Jones WBD Outfit
DeleteWhat a cute outfit for Jess to wear to the theater!
