This is the last in-progress Monday update for my Ms. Frizzle costume you\u2019ll get. \u00a0I\u2019ve got to have the whole thing finished by this Saturday. \u00a0So, I spent most of Saturday drawing germs, tracing them onto interfacing, ironing the interfacing onto fabric, and then pinning and topstitching the appliques onto the dress.<\/p>\n
