It took me less then an hour to make....I impressed myself. I do have some tweaking to do, but I will wait for tomorrow morning when Little Peanut puts it on.
Hormone Boy said that we need an actual proof of me making it.
After I took the picture of LP in his Scarecrow costume I added more straw to his sleeves to make them look fuller and I taped some straw on top of his shoulders coming out of his vest so it looks like he has a rip in his shirt.
I had blast making this and the look on LP's face after it was done was the best reward.
This costume cost me only $5.50 to make.
Thrift store shirt..................$1.00
Thrift store pants..................$1.00
Thrift store vest...................$1.00
Dollar store Scarecrow hat..........$1.00
Dollar store Raffia (straw).........$1.50
HeatnBond & Tuck tape........from my drawer
Look on LP's face..................................PRICELESS
Compare with it with $40.00 costume from eBay and I saved $34.50.
After I finished the costume I was in the Suzy Homemaker mood so I whipped up another batch of my Double Double Carbs & Trouble Cookies (2 kinds of chocolate chips and 2 kinds of nuts). If you like the recipe just go here.
They might not be the healthiest cookies out there (not even close), but they are sure delicious.
Don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY. It ends tomorrow.Tell you friends...
I am off to make some Halloween cookies and cupcakes for my kids school parties. We have a Halloween dance in LP's school today complete with a Baron of Beef dinner so no cooking and no dishes for me tonight....yey me.

PRICELESS...I like it. you did a great job, you should think about selling them!! you could make a few extra ends to bring in the house.
Great costume! You totally put my cowboy costume to shame.
Wow, that's really good Ms. Bibi! You are a suzy homemaker, aren't ya? :0)
Your first costume? I am impressed. I can barely sew the beanie babies that my kids leave in my room for repair. I think I am hoping there are such thing as faries, and they will sew the beanie babies.
