It was interesting trying to use the bathroom in that thing seeing as how it zipped instead of flapped. For a last minute costume, it was pretty cool.Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498899580300269250.post-65727424864992192112009-10-30T17:47:51.006-05:002009-10-30T17:47:51.006-05:00Wow Savanna, I love the idea of yards of fabric fo...Wow Savanna, I love the idea of yards of fabric for a gypsy skirt!

Then, there got to be too many of us to manage and we quickly figured out if we wanted our costume choice we'd have to make it ourselves. <br />I learned to sew at fourteen just because I pressed the issue and basically learned on my own. I've made some fantastic costumes, especially for grown-up parties. One of my faves is the elaborate gypsy costume I made, the skirt being yards of fabric.<br />However, I regret not learning how to create with metal, like sculptures, and/or build things. <br />School is such a waste at not teaching you what you really need to know in most cases.

My grandmothers used to give us their old costume jewelry and the year I went as a gypsy I must have worn about a dozen of their necklaces;-)Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18430750954598484156noreply@blogger.com
