and the costume is…

I spent 45 minutes wandering around the madness of the 30% off sale at Fabric Depot holding my trusty Yoda action figure up to different bolts of fabric, but I think I got some good ones! The polarfleece is super soft and cozy for her hat, and I liked the cheerful orange-stars quilting cotton for her snake — after I chose the dull green and dark brown, the bright safety-orange felt I’d originally picked up felt like it completed a miniature hunting palette or something. So since she’s one and a half and I get to make the costume, stars it is!
I’ll post photos and a tutorial when it’s done… I’m going to finish it early this year (unlike last Halloween when I was still fringing a scarf a half-hour after the party started).

Oh my gosh, this is going to be ADORABLE! I vote that you dress up as Luke and make a backpack to carry her around in, a la Empire Strikes Back.

As a costume designer, I gotta say mixin’ it up with some stars is the perfect way to personalize your expression! Can’t wait to see the tutorial! Halloween has traditionally been a nightmare for people in my profession (“Can you make me a…”), but it’s one redeeming factor is seeing how people enjoy the fruits of their efforts.
Regardless of how it turns out, I’m sure you’re gonna have a lot of fun makin’ it, and that’s a huge part of enjoying the holiday! Can’t wait to see the pics!!
