Halloween costumes


This year we feel a lot less nervous about Halloween. Except that the costuming didn't go as smoothly as planned - my plan - little one as fireman (handed down from last year), big one as costume of his choice from shop. Reality - both insisted they wanted to be cows. I thought, easy, stick spots onto T Shirts like we did earlier in the year. Reality - by end of October it is getting pretty chilly at night. So, go for extended drive one Saturday, try to find child onesies, don't exist, found second hand warm white top for Mr 6 that he can wear with black jeans, add spots, a bell, a headband with ears and a tail. Found dalmatian dog costume for baby, convert to cow by adding big spots, make an ear black, add black tassel to tail. Which all equaled about three nights sewing.
This picture is not the finished product. It was take I where I thought gluing spots on the costumes would work. It sort of did for the shirt, but not for the furry costume...I ended up zigzagging around all the spots, and buying more felt for bigger spots for the onesie.
