This weekend I completed Henry's Halloween costume. He decided that he would be The Fox and Max would be The Hound.
And my heart exploded. All of my dreams of coordinating Halloween costumes just landed in my lap on a silver platter.
I laughed the entire time I was in line at JoAnn's buying my cheap-o orange knit for these fox leggings and felt for the costume. Why? Because 9,302 women were buying all of the blue sparkly fabric in the store making the same old Queen Elsa costume for their kids. Poor suckers. So much effort for your kiddo to look like the millions of other Elsa's that we're all going to see on Halloween.
Hahahahahaha.
That's mean spirited. I should stop.
Nope.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
OK. That's out of my system. I'll share the tutorial for the fox mask and tail later this week. Today I wanted to gloat that I finally tried my hand at creating a piece of apparel using my serger - the leggings for this Fox costume. My plan had been to just buy orange leggings for like $8 somewhere, but finding them was about as difficult as finding the Lost Arc. They were nowhere to be found on the Internet for less than $25. And I was NOT going to spend $25 on orange leggings that may only get worn a few times. $4 of fabric and an hour or so with my machine would do just fine.
