First up we have two very suspicious characters that look up to no good. Simple paper eye masks with black beanie crochet caps and stripy tops – robber costumes ready just in time for a party 🙂

Sam was very keen to dress up as a pumpkin for Halloween last year so after a bit of panicking finally came up with the idea of a drawstring bag type arrangement with a hole for his legs to come out the bottom. We stuffed it with bubblewrap and balloons and he loved it (though did have a little difficulty getting through doors!

For the school play this year we had to dress Sam in a Christmas jumper and Santa hat, so I decided I wanted to make his light up. Rich helped me out with the circuit diagram to do this and then I sewed it all with exciting conductive thread and then added a crochet Christmas tree patch over the top.

Sam really loved it.

Last costume is for World Book Day tomorrow – Sam has been reading the “Faraway Tree” series by Enid Blyton and adores them – so here he is as the Faraway tree itself.
