Dancing Delight

As you may know, I go belly dancing once a week. I've been going for just over a year now and I'm really enjoying it. When I started again this September my dance teacher asked if I wanted to join in with her next hafla. A hafla is a bit like a party where everyone brings some food and people get up on stage and show the others what dance they've been learning.

Being the crafty sort of person I am, I needed to make my own costume. I managed to borrow a lovely velvet and silk skirt and decided to make my own top. It has ties on the back like a choli and I hand sewed all the beads and jingly bits on!


A bowl full of coins and one of beads.



Sewing in progress.

I decided to add some small sleeves and hey presto! All done.
