The Girls' Size 3 Pinnie Marathon was scheduled for early in the Olympic program, but due to unforeseen circumstances (possibly along the lines of procrastination) the final wasn't run until Saturday evening.
The event was held concurrently with the Men's Diving and Women's Basketball finals. Spectators (all one of him) were surprised to see that the marathon continued even later into the night than the basketball, which itself concluded at the wee small hour of 1.30am AEST.
The event was hindered at times by adverse conditions: spectacles with only one arm; lost thread; a sewing machine that initially refused to work; and diminishing chocolate at the refreshment station.
However, Black Velvet Pinnie scrapped in across the line, just in time for the 3rd birthday presentation on Sunday.
The view from the sidelines - yo-yo flowers, couch work and beading
This looks so sweet and the flowers came up really good. I am sure your 3-year old customer will be thrilled (and we know how hard they can be to please)

ReplyDeleteOh I love it! I've been trying to find a pattern for a pinnie just like this one - did you use one or make it up?
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable. My daughter wore a lot of black as a child which was unusual then but as she's Thai she looked smashing.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you holding onto a dash of feminine in that household of yours!
What a cute jumper!!!
