Contrary to what Dave may tell you, we were asked to to portray Mary and Joseph for a primary activity in our new ward. Wanting to make a good impression in the ward and in my neighborhood (i'm surrounded by primary presidency on all sides) I agreed happily.
Dave wasn't as happy about it.
Based on several conversations I had with the presidency about the activity I had a feeling that my traditional nativity costume, involving towels, ties and bathrobes, wouldn't cut it. So I set out to make our costumes. No pattern. I simply studied some pictures online and start sewing. It was my first time freestyling a sewing project since I was probably 9. Granted I was only making a simply shapeless tunic, but I couldn't help feeling like one of those pretentious designers on Project Runway.
Based on reactions, I think we made the good impression I was looking for. Hopefully any future opportunities with the ward won't involve playing dress up.

Oh my Meg!! Your talent is truly over-whelming. WOW! You guys look great. I think it is so sweet that you were willing to help out in Primary. Love and miss you....
Uh-Oh! Now look what you've done. You've proven to be truly amazing in your talents and now the world knows it. Next thing you know, you'll be asked to provide costumes for the entire primary next Christmas! :-) I'll pray for you.
