Mermaid

Sophie got to be a mermaid today! She convinced me to find out how to make a mermaid tail a few weeks ago. We consulted the internet, which led us to Mermaid Sasha on YouTube who told us how to make one. We got the fabric, made a pattern, and ordered a monofin. After Sophie practiced with the fin, we enlisted the help of our generous neighbor Ann Pressey, who sewed up the tail and added artful tendrils to the end. 

We took our mermaid to Legion Pool where it happened that she saw many of her friends! Mermaid Sophie swam like this for hours. It was a great day!
