Mini Minnie: Halloween 2013

Of course I had to at least try to make Molly’s 1^st Halloween costume.

I chose Minnie Mouse.

I wanted the dress to have a circle skirt.

I thought I was going to have to use a top from another pattern and draft my own skirt.

(Scary)

But I was lucky enough to find this McKenzie's Classic Twirly Dress pattern on craftsy.com.

(I love Craftsy.com)

It was fairly simple to follow.

I made the 6 month size and it fit my 8 month old EXACTLY.

I was actually nervous because I finished it two weeks early,

and I was afraid Molly might grow her belly too much.

But, it worked!

And if it’s OK to say, she made a mighty cute Minnie Mouse.

(Have I mentioned lately that this girl is hard to photograph?

She NEVER sits still.)

Just for cuteness, this is Minnie attacking COUSIN Dinosaur for kisses.

Here she is a few weeks prior showing off her costume to Illinois Grandpa and Grandma.

And just for fun, me and my crazy haired baby!

 

(Disclaimer: The shoe(s), headband and leggings were bought.)
