Here they are!
Tiny Princess Leia,
And the cutest Garden Gnome ever!
Tiny Princess Leia,And the cutest Garden Gnome ever!
This is what you get when your children are raised on old movies.
All Sophia wanted to be was Shirley Temple from "Captain January", what mom could refuse that request? We had many nights of wrapping her hair in rags to create the perfect ringlets. I designed her costume to be a cozy jacket style sailor top, with separating zipper and grosgrain ribbon trim. It is made of soft cotton flannel, and she loves it so much she's worn it many times since.
I was trying to think of something warm and snuggly to make for the other kids since we frequently have snow on Halloween. Both the Gnome and Princess Leia costumes are made of polar fleece, with a faux for beard and metallic pleather belt. The Leia hat is my favorite, I think I will size up my pattern and make one for myself to wear snowboarding this season. Yes, I am that strange.
All three were a smashing success with all who saw them, and it made me happy that they were all cozy and comfortable. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Love your owl softie. Are you selling the pattern?
Hi amylou,
Thanks for visiting, and for your sweet comments.
My owl pattern will be available sometime soon, everything takes me longer than I want it to, I guess that's part of being a mom;)
I will post here on the blog when it's available.
Thanks, Star
