Well the perpetrator is our President's Mum ( no, not THAT President - our association president) and she'd be mortified to hear they didn't fit ( or all the other tawdry problems) Fortunately she lives in Spain, unfortunately she is very likely to see them from her front row seat when they will be used! I don't have any before pictures and I'll see if I can get a picture of the little ones wearing them - It ain't pretty even now ( apart from the ones I made from scratch of course !!)
Just to help thing out on the "Oooh how lovely" front, I made 19 flowers - well, I bought 19 large white fabric roses, cut of the wire stems, glued on hair elastics then used deep burgundy nail polish to tip each petal in order to tie the colours in with the cross-overs.
