| Mum as the Mad Hatter |
My mum works at a school (my old primary school) and it was World Book Day. She wanted to be the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland, so I helped her make a costume. I made all the red ribbons for the outfit and I sewed the patches onto her trousers. I also made the white cuffs and the cravat styled ruffles down her shirt. You can't see the ruffles too well in the photos, but it took a while to make!
I also did her make up too. I applied purple eyeshadow and then fake hair to make her eyebrows 'bushy' and 'eccentric'. I was fun to do the make up for her as I was getting a bit into special effects make up and I had just learnt how to apply fake hair.
