It was a couple of weeks ago now but we were lucky enough to have a Jubilee street party arranged in our street. It was a pretty big event in the end with loads of people, games and food. The weather wasn't great and we had a few showers but it didn't spoil the fun too much.
There was a fancy dress parade in which Bea took part. I must say her costume was more to join in rather than an attempt to win first prize but I thought she looked like a pretty cute queen, Corgi and all.
The crown we made together then I whipped up a simple cloak.
I also made her a Jubilee dress that she could keep on all day. I only got a couple of quick snaps of it before it got jelly down the front.
(Excuse the grimace - that is what passes for a smile round here at the moment). I wanted the dress to have a vintagey feel so added a little collar with ric rac to a simple dress pattern, and a wide polka dot border at the bottom. I really liked how the dress turned out and hope she gets a bit more wear out of it over the summer just as a cute (if very patriotic) sundress.
