> made in 2011

When I made this I thought I was THE SHIT but it was only a couple of months later that I realized how bad it was.

I made the skirt in my sewing class, even though nothing about it is accurate I was SO PROUD that I got the plaid to match at the seams. Actually I'm still proud of that because I haven't attempted it since! The shirt is just a polo I had with bias tape hand-stitched on it. The patch is felt with a pin back on it. The headband was made with a strip of craft foam glued to a plastic headband, then covered in ribbon (why I thought this was a good idea I will never know). The clips were made with paperclay and painted. The tights, tie, and shoes were bought - I spent a long time deliberating on which color of tights to get so that they were accurate, I was sooooo proud of that. And yes... I used my real hair and glasses. It's hilarious how much better I could make this now, hopefully someday I will!
