I just finished the baby's first Halloween costume (I know we are over a month away, but I also know that at some point between now and then things are gonna get a little busy ;) I had been thinking on this since we found out our due date. I always wanted the baby to be a pea pod, but I wasn't quite sure how to make that. (I knew I wanted a homemade costume - we did a lot of homemade costumes when we were growing up - I remember being an apple tree one year.) I then thought it would be fun to make a zombie costume (I love zombies!) But zombies need face paint and babies that are just a few weeks old do NOT need face paint. So a mummy it was!
The costume was quite cheap and easy to make. I bought a white sleeper (which has the option of having legs or being a sack) at a thrift store for $2. It had little bears on it, but I figured those would be covered. Then I bought 1/4 of a yard of a white fabric and 1/4 of a yard of another white fabric that had little white patterns on it (this was more than enough fabric). I also got fabric glue for gluing the pieces on the arms. The rest of the strips were sewn on.
I cannot wait for the end of next month when I can put our little bean into the costume!!
