The Tudor effect!

by Sunita on June 24, 2009

Sorry, no foodie post today. Just a little something I wanted to share.

This term, Rengoni’s class has been studying about Tudors. Today, all their research and various other activities are going to culminate with a visit to Kentwell Hall. Everyone needed to dress up in tudor costumes ( everyday ones, not posh). This is what I managed to produce after a day of slogging ( yesterday)…-

There is usually a cup attached to a cupstring and hung in a similar manner to the purse…Rengoni has the cup in her class and will add it later.

The li’l lady is ready to go…

Have a great day !

I am sure Rengoni is going to have fun there.
I woudn’t able to make this if shyama ask me to make somethinglike this.
I will have to ask my MIL help them.
Rengoni looks more and more like you.

THanks…Rengoni had a great time. You’re lucky to have your MIL to turn for assistance… in my case, it’s me all the way!

Sunita Hats off to ya! If u managed this in a day & doing such a perfect job, you should start taking orders:-) The coif & the string of the bodice just looks so original, & i guess would be the difficult ones to do. She looks a darling! You made a purse too!! I am bookmarking this, going to be my inspiration for this years:-)

10 Sunita June 25, 2009 at 5:46 am: As I said earlier, Soma, I had to finish it in one day. Rengoni was very worried she wouldn’t have costume to wear in the morning. Take orders?? Nahhh!!!

Yes, the coif is a bit tricky indeed !

You know in Hindi they would say only one thing for this – “Nazar Utharo koi”. She needs it — such a cutie

Hi Sunita! I’m a subscriber to your blog’s feed and have been a regular though I’ve never commented. Just wondering now, what happens to kids whose parents don’t know how to sew?
This post gave me a panic as I was imagining being confronted with a situation where my child has to do something like this. I have absolutely no sewing or handicraft skills!

22 Sunita June 25, 2009 at 5:50 am: Sri, well, you can always buy or hire it
