#WorldBookDay2024

Are you even a sewist if you don't make a costume for World Book Day (never mind a Literature PhD and librarian)? 😊
Patterns are the Walnut Duffle Coat by @poppyandjazz and the Free Sandcastle Bucket Hat by ‪@WavesAndWild‬

What a gorgeous outfit, I could see how much you enjoyed making it.

So cute!

Loving it

[@SistasofStitchcraft]

Henry looks adorable 😍
Love that fabric you are wearing 😍

[@SheSewsHappiness]

It's sweet isn't it? It's probably more suited to children - Henry had a matching sweater until he grew out of it - but I love it

What a fabulous outfit. Two of our grandaughters went as Goldilocks and Kate from the Gruffalo this morning.

Adorable 🥰🥰

Oh my goodness Henry looks so adorable as Paddington and patch pockets are better for holding extra marmalade sandwiches 😉

[@SheSewsHappiness]

Thank you 😊

Adorable! Such a great idea. My youngest school hasn't celebrated it this year,which I was surprised about, and sad as she's in the final year of primary so won't be dressing up again 😢

I've heard that some people have made complaints to local schools because World Book Day puts pressure on parents to come up with something, so it hasn't been happening as much. I'll just take Henry to the library if that happens him :)

I was recommending books to a guy who works in my local coffee shop today as he really wants to read but struggles to stick with any of them. I always buy children books too. Sharing the love of books feels so good! 📚
That Paddington Bear hat and duffel coat are absolutely great. 🤗
Love that fabric in your top too btw.

I've had people tell me I'm hard to buy for (I'm really not as I've so many interests and have a penchant for jewellery 🤣) but I always say, if you have to give me anything give me a copy of your favourite book! I love reading books that mean so much to people

[@jankerslake5813]

@@SheSewsHappiness absolutely- and what a great gift idea. I must remember that. 😀
