Costuming Makes

 Today I am working on a costume for one of my boys. He is doing tough mudder http://toughmudder.com.au/events/melbourne-spring-2013/ with some of his dojo mates. They are dressing up as Braveheart.

The sword he found on ebay and it is plastic, light and strong.

Tuesday's Treasures

Today I am showing one of my treasures. This nylon carpet thread bought from Preston Market about 10 years ago I use all the time for ladder stitching seams closed. It is very strong and blends with whatever I am using. Single thread and does not show or come undone. Play Tuesday's Treasures with Melody at http://thehouseonthesideofthehill.blogspot.com.au/
