My girlfriend had her b'day party last night. I mentioned the other day in sew that I was doing a lot of sewing but couldn't show as it was for our costumes and i wanted to keep them secret!!! Well I can now reveal them.......again (as we were wearing them last night). The theme was 80's so each of my family went as a different aspect of the 80's
We had ......
Belly as the Cindi Lauper 80's dancer. It was so fun to make this dress and she loved the tulle in her hair!!!
We had.......
Flick as the Olivia Newton John lets get physical!!! Made basically the same a Belly's but instead of a circle skirt I put shorts.......oh and made it out of an old pair of sweatpants!!! She also had purple joggers on but they didn't last long.......shoes normally don't with Flick!!!!
We then had.......
The Husband as the 80's filmstar..... He could be Tom Cruise in top gun, Richard Gere in an officer and a gentleman and (i know it's not 80's but is close enough) a few good men!!!! He was wearing his cricket pants and a white shirt. I made Epaulletes (i think that's how you spell them) and bought the hat from the costume shop.
And me ......Well i was 80!!!
I put flour through my hair to make it grey, put on my pearls and bought an outfit from the local Vinnies!!!
It was a really good night!! Everyone really got into the dress up and had a ball!!!
Next post i am going to introduce you to another love of mine and show you the cool B'day cake I made for the event!!!!
It was the BEST night Jo. Thanks so much for all your help. Luv Ya!
