We had a ward trunk-or-treat tonight so it was do or die with the costumes. I worked hard the last couple of days and was happy with the results.
Thomas created the AWESOME robot costume and I created the adorable (if I do say so myself) Pinocchio costume. I wasn't sure I was going to make the hat until the last minute when I suddenly thought of a way I could do it. So glad. It made the outfit complete. I also made Ambrose's trick-or-treat bag.
All the hard work paid off because Ambrose was so happy to be a robot and had a blast running around proclaiming "TRICK OR TREAT!!!!!!!" all night long. I think he's saying it in just about every picture I have of him on here. He knew it meant "GIVE ME CANDY!!!!!" and that is something he is VERY enthusiastic about.
I got the trick or treat bag fabric LAST YEAR and since I didn't really know how to sew back then it sat in a bin. I was happy to be able to use it this year- yahoo!
Thanks to Liko for the bag pattern and Ashley for the Pinocchio ribbon!
