I have
fond memories of taking part in my school’s Christmas concerts as a child. I
never had the starring role, which as a bit of a wallflower I was relieved
about. Over the years I was Mrs Claus, the magic mirror in Snow White, the Star
of Bethlehem and an Angel. I was very lucky that as my mum is a dab hand at
sewing and costume making every year without fail she would make a costume for
me and my sister from scratch.
Having
admired my mum’s prowess at costume making I have always hoped to follow her
footsteps and make my children their fancy dress costumes for school events and
concerts. Last year for Bug’s Christmas concert along with World Book Day and
the Barnardo’s Pirate Toddle Walk, I lived up to my hopes and make Bug costumes
myself.
When school
told us about Bug needing a donkey costume for this year’s Christmas costume I hoped
to make it myself but thanks to us all being struck down with illness and a
huge amount of other commitments to deal with making a costume was not going to
be that possible. To make things a little easier and take the strain off I went
on the search for a pre-made costume for Bug.
Thankfully
Fun Warehouse came to my rescue with their Donkey costume.
The cute
Donkey costume is an all-in-one onesie with hood.
