Lia's Halloween Costume






She was a Little Wild Thing. I made her costume out of soft fleece in buttercup, pumpkin, and medium brown. I made the hat from scratch. After sewing the lining I appliqued the patches with the crosshatch stitch. Her outfit was appliqued wild patches; stripes, spots, feet, claws, and a tail. She was very cozy and wild. :)
I am sometimes overly ambitious. Being creative is very important to me but sometimes I get ahead of myself and imagine the project so grandiose that I don't finish it. Sometimes a project can just be a project. It doesn't have to lead into anything else. There is beauty in this.
