I Can’t Resist…

… I have to show you what I’ve been working on, even though it’s not quite finished yet. I’m just a teensy bit proud of it. :) Here it is, Camryn’s Halloween costume – Jessie the Yodeling Cowgirl (from Toy Story 2 and 3).

I used some old jeans, sewed on some cow print chaps, and added a strip of brown felt for the belt. (I’m still working on the belt buckle). Then I got a white long sleeve shirt and sewed on some yellow fabric and buttons then hot glued on some of this red rope.

I also have a red hat I found at the dollar store and I sewed some white yarn around the edges. I’m hot gluing red yarn in it for the hair, with a long red yarn braid coming off the back. It’s going to be fabulous.

And Jessie’s biggest fan is lovin’ it.

PS – Any cheap ideas for the white circle for the pull string on the back?

Looks great! How about cutting the middle out of a sour cream lid or something like that??

Large (possibly extra large if they're made) stitch counters for knitting. I know you only need one, but you can buy a package of them for under $2 at any craft store that sells knitting and crocheting supplies. If you were in Utah, I'd give you one of mine.

PS - They're hard rubber, so they don't bend. And the costume looks awesome so far! Cant wait to see it when it's done.
