Tree Frog Update

The body of the costume is complete.  It is SO CUTE.   I even altered the back of the costume so that it is a little more round stuffed and frog like.  I was advised that this needs to be a girl frog, since last years costume was a boy peacock.  I said we will try.  Tonight I will be working on the head piece.  That one will take a trial muslin or two to get the correct shape.  Hopefully pics by Friday of this week. 


It is made from fleece in the following colors: 
Pink
Turquoise
Electric Blue

Purple

Halloween Request

Well, My little one has put in her request for this year's outfit. 


We have done the Lobster.







The Fancy French Hen.







The Peacock.




And Now....  Drum Roll Please......................





The Tree Frog.






Sophia has been fascinated with The Princess and the Frog Movie since we took her on her birthday last year opening day.  So I took advantage of that and made my version of a Tiana Dress for her to wear to Disney when we went.  She loved it and was a hit.  Now she wants a frog costume, but not the movie frogs.  She wants to be a tree frog, but not just the ordinary tree frog.  a Purple Tree frog with red eyes, and pink and blue spots.  So we hit up Hancock Fabrics when they had their anniversary 53% off sale and purchased the required colors in fleece.  I will be drafting a tree frog costume in the next couple of weeks.  Pictures and production photos to follow.

What interesting Halloween costumes have you been requested to make for your friends and family? 
Any photos? 
Suggestions to make a great tree frog?  

Happy Sewing!

New Acquisitions.

New acquisitions.

Alert. Alert.  Alert.

I received some great vintage pattern this past week in larger sizes.  I can't wait to post some pics, and start working on some of these items for my wife, and drafting a companion piece for my daughter.  There would be some GREAT looks for church outfits, or even date night.

One of my favorite pieces that I have had a chance to look at isn't even a dress.  It is an Apron.  I think I will be working it into a skirt or dress pattern though.  It is GREAT.  Pics to come soon, once I figure my scanner out.

Enjoy your first fall weekend.
