When we were invited to a Wild West murder mystery party, amongst sorting out the practicalities we also needed to find costumes!! Keith's was relatively easy - a travelling preacher!
I on the other hand was to go as his sister - Just a little challenging - I guess I could have opted for jeans and a checked shirt with a cowboy hat but this is me, so several hours of research later I opted for a long skirt and blouse with bonnet and apron, pioneer woman style. Problem is I have no apron or bonnet!
I do on the other hand have fabric and a sewing machine!
The apron was relatively straight forward.
The bonnet proved a little more challenging, but with the help of several internet sites and kind of making it up as I went along .....
I didn't even shout at the sewing machine!
I think the children model it a lot better than me!
It was a fun evening, even though I didn't solve the crime, or achieve all of my goals and it turns out my brother is a double crossing cattle thief ! Shocking!!
