That settles it - I really am crazy!!

Maddie&EthansMom wrote: I went and got the fabric to make the kids costumes for Halloween. Maddie is going to be Dorothy and Ethan is going to be a lion. Maddie's costume looks fairly easy to make, BUT Ethan's is going to be quite the challenge. Don't get me wrong, I love sewing and I love a good challenge, but I'm not used to sewing clothing and no telling what this 'lion' is going to look like!! I guess if it fails I will go to Kohls. They had the cutest skunk costume. Why do I always have to do things the hard way???

Here I go!! Wish me luck!

DansMom replied: I'm lucky---Daniel has an older cousin, and they kept all of his costumes. We have the cutest ready-made lion costume. But there is something special about a mom who makes the costume for you---it's creative and it makes you feel special. My mom did this for us---I'm sure your little lion will be absolutely adorable!!

MomToMany replied: Awww, I bet they will turn out great! They would look SO very cute together! Your children are so beautiful .

Good luck Aimee!

Kaitlin'smom replied: awwww I but they will be great, dont for get the pics!

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Awwww that's great that you are making there costumes for them! I wish I had your talent! Good Luck and I bet they are going to turn out great!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: I wish I had the gumption to make Jade's Halloween cotumes. I just never sat down to learn how to sew. I bet they are going to come out just fine Amiee. I can't wait to see them. Good Luck!!!!!!!

Hey! I was going to buy Tyler a skunk costume also, but they had none left so he's going to be a Tiger

Good Luck with your sewing projects!!!

MommyToAshley replied: I wish I could sew, I bet they are going to turn out adorable! And, I have to agree, the hand made one will be special to them.

ediep replied: good luck

It is going to be my new yeears resolution for 2005 to learn to sew. I already told DH that I want a sewing maching for christmas

coasterqueen replied: Good luck! I have confidence in you . At least you can sew, hee hee. What is a sewing machine again?

Boys r us replied: OH MY!! you are crazy!! LOL

Aw..I bet they will come out cute! Can't wait to see!!!

5littleladies replied: You're not crazy Aimee. I often wonder what I've gotten myself into when I sit down to sew but it usually turns out fine. I think I'm sewing the girls costumes this year too, but I haven't quite decided for sure. I better decide soon-I'm running out of time.

Good luck and I can't wait to see pictures! I'll bet they are going to be adorable!

good luck to you... i was going to do things the hard way btu ended up going to KMART becasue my poor kids would have ended up without costumes becasue i undertake many thing and rarely have time to finish them.

jdkjd replied: That IS crazy. I'm basically as uncrafty as you can get.

BUT crazier is that I got Bailey a "Dorothy" costume and Kiera a Lion costume a couple weeks ago. We'll both have to post pictures!!

Maddie&EthansMom replied:

THAT IS CRAZY!!! I bet they will be so cute!!

I actually had to talk Maddie into being Dorothy. She wanted to be Cinderella, but they were out of the pattern. Maddie actually owns a pair of red glitter shoes, but they are way too small. I wonder where I can find some??

I can't wait to see pictures of your Dorothy and [cowardly] lion.

Boys r us replied: Aimee, I've seen "ruby slippers" at Target in the kids shoe section!

redchief replied: What I can't do with a bedsheet and safety pins!!!

Wow... you guys make things that people can actually wear? Heheheh

I can sew a button back on, fix a blown seam... but that's about the extent of my sewing wizardry. You're not crazy... you're awesome for even trying!

jdkjd replied: We found the glitter shoes at Target. Do you have a Target close?

momof2girls replied: Im jealous I wish I could make things!!!! I cant !

Maddie&EthansMom replied:

I knew they had them awhile back, I just didn't check this year. Thanks! I will try Target!

paradisemommy replied: wow..green with envy here too..i bet they'll turn out awesome!! i have zero creative bone in my bod..i was mia when they were passing that out..ha ha ha
