Last Minute Clown Costume!
Sent in by Debbie Hughes
“This is very appropriate as what I did was silly, and I should be sent to the silly farm. It was my first paid job and I was to face paint at a 5yr olds party. I had everything ready, but at the last minute decided that I wanted to be in costume.
So I ran down to the local OpShop and purchased some material to make a clowns outfit, this was the day before, so without a pattern I ran myself up a costume, looked pretty good too, so the next day I painted my face got into the costume and went to the party.
It was a great day and I thoroughly enjoyed my first outing. After painting about 14 faces, I packed up and waved goodbye to everyone and walked down the driveway to my car.
When I got home and took my outfit off…horror…all the stitching at the back had come undone and all I was wearing underneath was my pink knickers…I’m not sure if anyone noticed, but I made sure I ran them up on the overlocker and sewing machine a few times after that…”

A good clown suit can cost, so, I had the grand idea that I’d make some clown pants…from scratch…by hand…with no pattern! Understand that sewing is not my thing, but I gave it a try and thought I did a good job. I got to the party and had a ball jumping around with the kids. It was when I got home and undressed that I realized that the seat of the pants had busted! It was a good thing that my top covered my butt or I would have been very embarrassed! Needless to say, I ran out and got a REAL suit asap! BTW, I bought a man’s clown suit by mistake and the thing was too long (I’m only 5′3″) and too tight!
