I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Made a schoolgirl outfit; skirt, shirt, tie from Claire's Accessories - all teamed up with some lovely boots.
Anyway - I made the skirt. Got loads of halloween fabric and made a proper wrap-around one. Only, I didn't have a sewing machine. Or much cotton. So I made it, hemmed it with that micro-fibre hem shit and sewed a zip into it.
Needless to say, by the end of the night, I ended up with a skirt that was being held up by safety pins, not before flashing everybody from the DJ box.

I've had DIY halloween costumes for the last 3 years.... Papa Lazarou, a zombie with wax "wounds" which melted all down me, and my crowning achievement, Pinhead! I was hours gluing tiny rolled up bits of paper to my face.

/pretends to have misread, because I'm clever and funny like that.
