It's Grrrreeaaaat!

Ok, so the costume I just finished wasn't actually Tony, but he's the only famous tiger I know. That being said, this turned out way cuter than poor ol' Tony ever was!  This costume was made out of an extremely luxurious fabric that Taren picked up for it. There was no pattern involved, everything was done by hand.. by me. Velcro closure running up the back, in the front of the hood, and down the backs of the booties. Padded belly, ears, and extremely stuffed tail. (Which seemed to be his favorite part).

In the beginning I thought it would only take 4 hours, boy was I wrong.. I put over 11 hours into this sucker! Lesson learned!  Maybe I shouldn't have tried re-inventing the wheel with the pattern, but it was so much fun! Chloe loved being my stand in dress dummy (as I've not yet found one at what my husband would consider a reasonable price). Enough talking! Here are the pics!

Loving the tail!

Full velcro closure runs the length of the back ,assuring no gapes, and making it cozy for trick or treat!

I would call that a happy customer :)

Look for more projects coming soon!
