Australia Day
(click to enlarge).
Emma has been studying 'Our Amazing World' this term, and today was
Australia Day. Parents and carers were invited in to share a
traditional Australian lunch (hot dogs, vegemite sarnies, pavlova,
flapjacks and granny smith apples!), we were also treated to a fashion
show and they sung Waltzing Matilda. I didn't want to go down the
stereotypical cork hat route for Emma's costume, so, thanks to a
suggestion from an Australian sewist, she went as a lifesaver!
Purchased tshirt and shorts, the baseball cap we had already (standard
school one!) and I just embroidered the tshirt. The logo on the front
isn't very clear on the picture, it is the logo of the Surf lifesavers
of Australia, the text should've been around the badge but it was late
at night and done is better than perfect ;) . Ran out of red
embroidery thread half way through, so half the letters on the back
are gutermann - spot the odd ones out?!
