Just for the next week. All of my quilting projects are in totes or gallon bags. Instead, I am venturing into costuming. My 8 year old niece wants to be Laura Ingalls for Halloween. And guess who got tapped to make the costume?

What a great choice, she will have to tell everyone who she is but still a great choice!
Have fun adjusting to a 5/8" seam allowance! It just feels so wrong!
Oh, God, I didn't even think of that. Where did I put the bottle of Captain? I might need it.Quote:

Can you please post a picture of the finished costume? I am very excited to see it. I loved watching the Ingalls family when I was a kid :)
I Lovred making costumes! They are all too big now, sad.... Lucky you!
