Sour Kangaroo was going to be a simple Elegant Pouch.
Similar to the Inspiration I posted here.
I sketched Mayzie in an elegant dress and Gertrude in a cute little girl dress. I didn't like all the skin exposure on most costumes I saw for Mayzie. It is still an elementary school performance.

I couldn't have tackled this project without the help of some pretty amazing parents involved in the school and show. I created volunteer kits. YES these kits are time consuming to assemble. And you have this classic event planning moment: "I'll just do it myself." Of course you CAN do it... but SHOULD YOU do it all?
NO, don't do it all. You will be exhausted, and frustrated! Pinspiration is tremendous! But realize each project takes time, from minutes to hours. Include the shopping time, cutting, assembling, and all the steps inbetween. So NO - Dont do it all yourself. My costume kits took hours, but they also saved me DAYS!
