This year we decided to do another Anime Halloween. Last year Russell and Sam dressed up as characters from Naruto. This year it's Pokemon.
We ordered Russell's Ash costume from ebay. It was only around $25. Not bad. And after materials and my time it cost the same to make. Russell and Sam were skeptical that I could make the Ash costume. Whatev.
I made this pokeball bag and finished it today. I started it a few days ago and was all proud and stuff but then I found out I made the ball upside down with the white on top. It took me a day or two to get over how upset I was before I fixed it. For the circle I just traced the bottom of Jade's exersaucer. For the black circles I traced Beqi's bobbin container.
This is the Pikachu costume that took me 2.5 hours to make. I made the first part Friday in two hours then it took me 30 minutes to embroider the face and add the tail. I just totally pulled this one out of my ass because I had never made a baby one piece before and never made anything with a hood.
I totally would have ordered this costume online for a reasonable price but I couldn't find any. Originally I was going to be a (slutty) Pikachu and baby was going to be a Pokeball but I felt like Pikachu for the baby made more sense. While we were at Boo at the Zoo we had the theme song for Pokemon playing on the iBaby. Sam and I haven't made costumes yet for this year and we probably won't. Ofcourse we could be Brock and Misty but I don't have red hair and it'll be too cold to wear shorts and a tank top.
