 Outfit 1, post 1 (Come play with us!) Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ Dark Brooding Girl ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Gaston had heard about Kay's assignment and thought it might be worth a try. It sounded like fun, and if nothing else, it was a way for him to do something for his daughter. The thing was... he had literally no idea where to begin! He could sew with a wand, but he'd never tried it the muggle way. His blue eyes darted around the room, taking in the sewing machines and supplies, and he was strangely reminded of his grandmother. A sudden pang of sadness gripped his heart. If only she were still alive... then he could turn to her for sewing tips.
As it was, he was on his own. He supposed the first thing to do was decide exactly what kind of outfit to make. After looking over the category choices, he decided to go with Day at the Beach. There weren't many choices on the list that lent themselves to a baby girl's outfit, but he thought this would be something Desiree could get some use from. If nothing else, she could wear it when they went to visit his parents over the summer.
He was starting to envision an outfit... a little sundress with matching hat and diaper cover. Now he just needed to find the right fabric. After perusing the clothes cupboard, he eventually found a roll of pretty turquoise fabric with a fish print and a contrasting color for the diaper cover. He set the fabric on a table and gathered scissors, thread, and needles from the drawer. Now it was time for the measurements. He had one of Desiree's outfits to use as a guide, but he had no idea how to make a pattern from it. Patterns were used in sewing... that was right, wasn't it?
