Some of you may know that Genevieve, also known as Miss G. is doing her VCE which is equivalent to A levels in the U.K. I believe. Anyone who has either done VCE or who has children who are in the throes of the VCE year will know the stress and grinding hours of study that go with the territory.
In a bid to shed a little light relief on such an intense time, the Year 12 class at Genevieve's school have a dress up as a Disney character each year just before exam time. They raise money for charity and have some fun at the same time.

Genevieve chose to be the Magic Carpet from Aladdin. She is very thin and figured she could pull it off and indeed she did. My fabric stash was duly raided, nothing too precious was used and this is what she came up with.

Her inspiration for the design came from here.

Genevieve used her new sewing machine (18th birthday present), for the first time with Charlotte helping solve some teething problems. Yay for big sisters. A fun day was had by all and I saw some other amazing costumes when I picked Genevieve up from school.
Ahh, the enthusiasm of youth, you've got to love it!
