baby and toddler costumes

Some time ago, exactly for Red Nose Day 2011 we (read parents :) ) have been asked to dress up our children at the nursery as one of the characters from very famous book The Gruffalo. First I looked for a costume for my 20 months old daughter at Internet. I went through many pages and suprasingly I didn't find what I looked for. I have decided to make costume for her by myself. I bought quickly not very expensive sewing machine (I planned to do so long time ago so now was a good time). I looked at this monster for some time as I didn't even know how to set up threds on it. Finally we have made friends and look what I have done - Mouse inspired by The Gruffalo book. I was so proud of myself, yes yes I was as it was firts time in my life I have used sewing machine. On the way to and back from nursery and at nursery I ve heard many nice oppinions. One of it was: "It is the cuttest Mouse costume I ever saw!". After some time I have decided to make a new one for some little people who would like to have a fun day to be a such a cute Mouse :) It is made from scratch by myself (design, pattern and sewing) and includes hat - mouse head with big ears and lovely face - and dress with stuffed belly.

Then after some time I have decided to make few more costumes. There is Monster costume insired by The Gruffalo book, Baby Dragon and Bunny. See my cutest model ever in them :)
