When Jesus Gives Candy To All The Good Little Monsters
...or something.
Do you recognize this?
It's Max from Where the Wild Things Are, by Maurice Sendak and embracing one of the few times I can totally dictate my childs choice of costumes, I decided to make him this wolf suit.
And the crafty gods smiled upon me, sent their muse into my sewing machine and helped me to do this:
Yes.
I know.
It's fantastic.
No pattern, pen, pins or other sewing related p-word. Just me, some scissors and my sewing machine, and a suprisingly patient 2 year old who allowed me to hold variously shaped pieces of fleece to his tiny frame.
I'm feeling rather smug.
Although there were a few last minute adjustments while waiting for the rest of the Candy Brigade to arrive:
But in the end it was awesome:

There's nothing cuter! Last year, when my baby was three, she went as Clifford the Big, Red Dog. Except that it was during the phase when she would not go anywhere without a crown on her head, so she was Clifford the Big, Red Princess Dog.
Or something.
