When I was a little girl I remember my grandma sewing me a Halloween costume that was a jester. She let me see bits and pieces of it while she made it but when it was complete it was absolutely beautiful. I wore that costume for several years.
For my son, he has always loved dressing up but puts lots of thought into his Halloween costume. I very rarely get him to pick out a Halloween costume from a store and he always wants to be something that they don't make Halloween costumes for. Last year it was red licorice and this year he wanted to be his favorite ugly doll.
I went to work today on my sewing machine to recreate it and finished the hat today. I love how I'm able to do my favorite thing which is create and at the same time giving my son a memory that I am sure he will cherish from his childhood when he is older.
