Jaydon wanted to be cookie monster for Halloween after he saw a costume in a shop he went in with Dad. They even ended up buying the costume at a later date but the zipper was broken so we returned it. When I found out how expensive it was I decided to make him one myself. Not to mention I had had made all his previous costumes so I felt bad not playing a part in this one. It was a bit of work and I couldn't find the pattern I wanted so I ultimately ended up driving with the kids an hour and fifteen minutes south to go to a good friends house because she is a great sewer and had a bunch of patterns and costumes from her kids. She helped me pin and cut an old bear patter and then I loaded the kids and headed back up. Thankfully Wendy had also just bought a sewing machine so we were in business.
Here it is mostly together just working on the hood part and hemming.
Final product (on the day of Halloween we put ping pong balls on for the eyes), but the fabric worked well for the time being.
He loved it! Here he is eating some of the fake cookies I made.
