| Yes, those are Elliot’s training pants. I’d like to say they’re clean but…yeah. |
Dana’s going to spit out her coffee when she sees this because the other day when we were chatting I was all “blahdeeblahdeeblah, I NEVER make my kid’s Halloween costumes, blahdeeblahdeeblah!” You know, acting like I was too busy to waste time making something that only gets worn once or twice. Well now I’m just a big fat liar. The cow flannel that a friend gave me last year when her mom was throwing away fabric was just too irresistible I guess. And wouldn’t you know, that Martha and her hat pattern … it has these side seams that are just perfect for sewing in ears.
If you are doing some last-minute Halloween sewing and want to make one of your own, you’ll have to enlarge it: the pattern prints for me at 6 inches wide without seam allowances (so 12″ total), so for an 18″ head I printed at 150%, you can figure out how much you need to enlarge by dividing 12/(head circumference) and multiplying by 100 to get the % you need. Then don’t forget to add seam allowances, the pattern is actually made for felt and therefore doesn’t include them.
The body was a trace of a snowsuit without the feet. I added a zipper in the back for easy in/out.

The only way my kids were getting homemade this year was if Aunt LoLo made them…so she did 
She looks so cuddlely in all that flannel!
I felt the same way about making my daughter (13mths) a costume but in the end I made one too. (at least older kid costumes can go in a dress-up box since they don't grow out of them so fast.)
She is a ninja. I made black tights, black long sleeve shirt and tabi socks with canvas bottoms; at least she can re-wear the individual pieces later.
Oh Rae, how wonderful and funny!
Well done, Dana should indeed better watch out with that coffee
