Of course I didn't start on these costumes until the night before Halloween. Just following tradition, I suppose. My mom came up with the idea of Thing 1 and Thing 2, and I loved it! I just wish I'd started a little earlier so that I could have made a cat in the hat costume for myself. But I got theirs done in time, and that's what counts. I was pretty surprised at how easily I was able to put this all together. I made the little red suits by looking at a pair of footie p.j.s. I sewed the first sleeve on wrong twice, and the last sleeve wrong once. But other than that, no problems. Except for Chloe's massive head. The "wigs" are little fleece beenies I made and sewed a feather boa to the top. But Chloe's head is so huge that her boa didn't quite cover all the hat.

That was well worth the wait! The costumes look amazing! And the girls look so adorable! You did a fantastic job.
Love the pumpkin painting. They look pretty into it with their cute aprons.
THANKS SO MUCH for the pictures.
Another banner costume year! That is a great one.
Don't knock that big noggin of Chloe's. She comes by it naturally and will likely be a genius because of it!
I really like these costumes. The girls look adorable. Nice work!
Oh how fun, and VERY adorable costumes! You really did a fantastic Job Kelsey!
Great work on the costumes. They are perfect. Saw all these on Facebook too. Adorable as always. You are too clever by far!
Love the costumes! You're so dang crafty and I'm jealous. I love to sew, but your skill puts me to shame. For sure.
