Yesterday I was helping my cousin make some party favors and stuff for her daughter's 5th birthday party next week. Her daughter wants a medieval princess theme party, so there's going to be an archery contest, shield painting, and a dragon pinata. We also thought we'd make some veils for all the little girls to wear so they'd feel more princessy. First to Dollarama, where we bought fake flowers and glittery elastic headbands. Then to the fabric store where we bought... an assload of stuff I don't need.
Everything in the store was half price, including the bargain center, which is usually $2-$5 a yard. We bought some really awesome organza embroidered with big flowers for the veils (came to $2.50 a yard with the discount). Then I found a bunch of crushed burnout velvet and fake suede. All of it either $1 or $2.50 a yard.
WHEN YOU FIND AWESOME STUFF AT THAT PRICE, IT IS AGAINST THE LAWS OF NATURE NOT TO BUY IT. So I bought it. ALL of it. And it only cost me $28 bucks. YE-AH! I don't have a clue what I'll do with it, but now it's mine.
stop making costumes you don't need!,
