Shrovetide - Blueberry Girl


So today was the big shrovetide day in Frida Viola's kindergarten. We decided on blueberry girl a long time ago since Frida Viola loves blue and blueberries, and since we have been reading the story about Putte/Peter in Blueberryland intensely lately. My mom helped me finish the dress yesterday.




A little blueberry hat with embroidered leaves.


The dress in itself is very simple and can be used alone afterwards (same model as this one).
 I love the blue color.



The leaves are made as a garland and can be used for other costumes as well. I used a mix of old bits of fabric.


And this is how the costume was received on the first trying - she was excillerated :)
(and I was so happy that se didn't want to be a princess like all the other girls!)

  1. What a cute little 'blueberry' you have... She looks adorable. I love the way you transformed a simple dress with the leaf 'bunting' and the little hat. Perfect and unique.

  4. Inger-Marie, altså, nogle gange skulle man tro, vi var søstre:) Min søn var udklædt som blåbærdreng her til fastelavn med samme hat, blade om halsen og en kurv med blåbær i. Inspireret af Elsa Beskow...
    Et kram til dig!

  5. Sophie - hvor er det sjovt! Vi to kan helt sikkert lide de samme ting :) Og sejt at din søn ville være blåbærdreng - i FV's børnehave var alle drengene enten spiderman eller darth vader og det kræver mod at bryde det kodeks!
