Happy Halloween - Part 1 of 3

McNugget's first Halloween was a success! She got to wear her costume twice - once to her aunt's Halloween parade and to the neighbors house for trick or treating - she even was given one token package of candy (Fun sized Skittles) from Chris & Katie next door.

As I mentioned previously, I made her costume this year (as I hope to every year). No pattern - just sew-and-go! Why did I dress her as a flapper, you ask? Well, I really like her in red, and she can wear a headband like no other baby I know. I also LOVE historical era clothing. I made it a smidge small (forgetting to allow for the rapid growth that has apparently took place for her tiny body in the past few weeks), but we got it to fit.

The costume... (which took about an hour and a half to make, and was under $15)

The try-on...

On Halloween - it was cold!
The meltdown... yes, I'm wearing a 1920's-era paperboy costume to match her.

The 'good' shot of us... and this is the best one - even with the odd smile I have and her not looking at the camera...

I love Halloween. Can't wait to make her many, many more costumes and really enjoy it with her!
