Captain Dynamite

Well, the absence of any post can primarily be blamed on school being back in session and secondly on the celebration/weddings schedule we have endured for the past 5 weeks. Bottomline, I'm glad to be home and not in a cocktail dress. 


Since I blame no posts on school, here's a post about something going on at school. At our staff meeting this past Friday I was volunteered to make a Captain Dynamite outfit/costume for our principal. Our principal will be sporting this outfit/costume on Monday for a Student Kick-Off we are having. Once volunteered, I was nervous and excited about my new project that needed to be completed within 72 hours. 


I spent the majority of the end of the day planning, sketching and formulating lists of supplies with my trusty sewing friend at school, Betty. Once the bell rang, I was off to Joann's with my teacher's discount card for the fabric and supplies to create the one, the only, CAPTAIN DYNAMITE!! 


With no pattern and limited information about how to put together a costume I was in front of my supplies ready to hit the road running. Here are pictures of how everything panned out:
