Nora's Halloween Costume

I'm making Nora's Halloween sheep costume right now. OMG, omg, omg, omg... IT'S SO CUTE!

My sister and I bought fuzzy cream fabric from the fabric store instead of using fiberfill or cotton balls, and I decided to wing it instead of using a pattern. If I may say so myself, I have a knack for sewing. I just took some of Nora's clothes and laid them out on the backside of the fabric. I then either traced the item (if I wanted it to fit her the same way) or drew outside the shape a little (if I wanted to make the piece bigger.) I then gave myself an inch for the seam, cut the fabric, sewed it together, tried it on Nora and fixed any issues after.

We are taking a lot of pictures, I'll post some as soon as I upload them.

I made an Ugly Betty Guadalajara poncho that came out pretty cool. I'll send you a pic after I get my wig. I figured I'd be Ugly Betty this year since I have braces...hopefully this will be the only Halloween I do.

That sounds so cute! Can't wait to see the pics. I wish I were craftier...

Btw, I was amused that Google Ads brought up links to adult costumes along side this post - haha.

I was the worst seamstress on the planet ... my Mom was the whiz. It seems you have it all under control and I can't wait to check it out. She is such a baby doll girlie girl, and fortunate to have such a cool Auntie. Love from The Prairie. xoxo.
