Happy Halloween, kids ;)After a couple of days of basically abandoning my blog, I've done it -- I finished J's costume!
This was the first time I've done any such elaborate sewing project, my model was very finicky about letting me fit him, and I was following a YouTube video for instructions, so it's definitely a little wonky. But hopefully the imperfections will just add to the charm. I also made a crown and scepter, so I'll have to post photos later of the whole get-up.
As I was sewing, I randomly hearkened back to one of my favorite episodes of The Cosby Show. Remember in Season 1, when novice designer Denise offered to help Theo out by sewing him a copy of a Gordon Gartrelle shirt so he could impress his girlfriend? Hilarity inevitably ensued:
When I watched that scene tonight I think I laughed just as hard as I ever did when Theo ran in and screamed "DENISE!!!" Awesome.
Anywho, I hope J doesn't look quite as wack when he tries on his Max costume to go Trick-or-Treating! I'll keep you posted.
While we're on the topic, what are you doing for Halloween? Please share!
I knew you could do it! I Love it!! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks amazing. I made my sons costume this year too. And it had quite a few flaws but personally I think that the best part of homemade costumes. Otherwise you might as well buy one if it has to be perfect. I am sure he will be absolutely adorable! Congrats on an awesome costume and Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I are going as Al & Peg Bundy! Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to have a little me- this, this would be THE PERFECT outfit.
i had a pretty nice halloween... impromptou party on friday, and then my gf's masquerade ball on saturday.
I love that Cosby Show episode! AND...I am uber-impressed with your costume skills. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI don't even have to watch that youtube link to be reminded of that episode. I loved that show!
ReplyDeleteGreat job, again, on the Max costume. It's fabulous! I hope your son wears it all year long :O) (not that I want him to be disobedient or wild all year long, but, you know what I mean).
Thanks you for posting that clip!...I'm crying! Love that show.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the Max costume! It turned out so cute...and I loved the little video. That will be such a fun memento.
Ha....great costume for your Max.
ReplyDeleteBy the way that epi of Cosby is one of my faves. I especially love the line that Cliff says to Theo about paying $95 for a shirt. "The only reason a boy your age should have a shirt that costs that much is if he's on stage with his five brothers" or something like that.
Cute costume! I thought I would share the costume I made for my little one. Being a New Yorker you may enjoy it!
