Both girls wore handmade costumes this year. Emily’s was the witch costume my mom made for me back when I was 6! She also wore this 2 years ago.
Samantha decided she wanted to be a cookie this year. So I had to come up with a cookie costume! Got some light brown fleece, and some dark brown felt. I measured her from her shoulders to her knees, and then cut circles to that diameter (plus an extra inch for seam allowances). Then I cut out some chocolate chip shapes from the felt and sewed them onto the fleece. Then sewed the fleece circles together, leaving an opening for her head and her legs. Finally she tried it on and I marked the spots for her arm slits. I just cut those and then sewed some reinforcement along the slits.
Voila! Instant cookie. Later I made up a hat, she needed something on her head too!
