I found the music for it on google and then drew it in pencil by hand on the back of the pillow case. Then I measured out the size of the black notes and cut 12 circles out of a black shirt which was being thrown out. After sticking those on I drew over the rest of the pencil with black fabric pen. It's a bit squashed towards the end but doesn't look too bad. I was going to try doing some fancy font wording as well but ended up writing the words by hand in pencil then writing over them in pen when I was happy that they fitted.
I also tidied up the neck and arm holes using iron-on mending tape bought from John Lewis. Unfortunately I didn't buy enough so only managed to do the neck and one arm!
Update - went out and bought another roll of mending tape and have now finished off the other arm. So apart from a a few stitches on the arms and neck (and possibly extending the neck a bit as it's quite difficult to get over the head at the moment!) I think we're pretty much finished.
Roll-on Thursday when the costume has to be worn!
