Unicorn horn!

Hi Everyone, I had a phone call off one of my nieces, she asked if I could make a Unicorn horn - for her horse! First thoughts no problem, my Cameo will do that, then asked if the gala she wants it for was outside? Yes was the reply, so paper / card was no good. Then thought I would rope my SiL in, as she is great with the sewing machine. AND she had material scraps that were many years old, such as the gold lame.

Anyhow after she and I got together, after asking for sizes of the bridle, we spent a few hours cutting the pattern and then working out what shape to cut the band, she did the sewing of the band and seams of the horn. I finished the band and horn off, with it's shaping and adding the poinsettias and leaves, the SiL also had in her "scraps". This didn't cost anything but time and my Niece was thrilled with it. She asked for one for her friend too, hence 2 made.

She also told me she will be wearing a red dress with Christmas pudding on her boobs! She has huge boobs, so you can imagine what this will look like.  She has promised to update me when she does the gala. She is so funny.

Here are the photos of the horns, (their not perfect, but as a one off Christmas gala she wasn't wanting perfect - just as well LOL,)  also  the horse wearing them to see if they fit.
