It was a 90's themed fancy dress party so I told people that they could either come as a character from the 90's or just wear general 90's fashions. I even got some retro party snacks! Like those animal biscuits that come in the purple packet, cheese balls and those little savory snack sets that have the mini pretzels and fish crackers in them. I had a 90's playlist with all the classics on too!
I was a teenage mutant ninja turtle (Michelangelo - the orange one). I loved that programme when I was younger and he was always my favourite! I decided to make my own costume rather than buying an expensive one and I was pretty pleased with the result considering I'm not that great at sewing and I had to do it all my hand (I would love to have a sewing machine!).

Method:
I based the costume on top of a pumpkin costume I already had and covered this in dark green material. Then I sewed on the yellow material for the tummy and stitched the pattern onto it using wool. For the shell on the back I stuffed the rim of a circular piece of material with scraps and sewed it up (like a pizza crust). Then I sewed that onto my back and stitched the pattern onto it in wool. My bandanna is just made out of a cut up orange vest.
I was really pleased with the whole night. I got to spend time with my flatmates who I'd hardly seen while I'd been on placement and two of my best friends form home came too which I loved! I was pleased that most people got into the spirit of fancy dress too!
Tom wore a 90's Middlesbrough footy top that he's had since he was a kid and somehow still fits him?

The only problem now is I don't know what to do for my 21st to beat this year's party!
