Categories: Costumes
Pattern Description: Halloween costumes: lamb, duck, ladybug, pumpkin, witch
Pattern Sizing: Toddler sizes: 1/2, 1, 2, 3, 4
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, the basic shapes looked the same.
Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions were very easy to follow.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I liked that the pattern was very adaptable to make costumes other than those shown on the pattern envelope.
Fabric Used: I used polyester fleece and lined it with leftover lining fabric.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: My son and daughter-in-law wanted a blueberry costume for their 13 month old. I adapted the pumpkin costume from this pattern. I sewed it in navy blue fleece and omitted the jack-o-lantern face. I made the hat for the pumpkin costume, but left off the stem and added a blueberry stem from rolled felt. The pattern instructions had me put Velcro at the shoulder. My granddaughter kept trying to pull the Velcro open so I ended up sewing the shoulder closed.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I would use this pattern again. With the different pieces it can be used as a base to create many different costumes.
Conclusion:

The [perfect costume to wear when reading" Blueberries for Sal"! Love the humor and inventiveness of the costume.
