Christmas is getting close and our house has definitely been full of Christmas music. What is your go-to Christmas album? In terms of Christmas music, I've always been a big fan of Mariah's classic album, but I also LOVE Michael Buble's, The Idea of North's, and Kelly Clarkson's Christmas albums. I hadn't listened to it before, but yesterday, as I was making this green playsuit, I gave Idina Menzel's Christmas album a go, and I really loved it! What else should I be listening to?
But anyways, I mentioned a PLAYSUIT. Yes. Yesterday I had some of this beautiful green material left over and it reminded me of Christmas trees! It is also really bright and summery (it's summer over here in the Southern hemisphere) so I thought, I've done a wintery, traditional Christmas shoot, it's time to do an Australian Christmas putting-up-the-Christmas-tree photoshoot!
I cranked up Idina Menzel's 'holiday wishes' and made this super-cute playsuit! It was really easy to make - I just got a strip of material (that could wrap around my waist very loosely) and a piece of elastic that could stretch around my waist. Then I stretched it along the whole length of the fabric and sewed them together, before making some shorts with a higher waist and sewing them to the elastic too. Finally, I added some strips of fabric as shoulder straps!
What do you think? I love my new playsuit because it's super comfy and easy and makes me feel really Christmassy :) But of course, putting up the Christmas tree is very exhausting!
