As you may have read in past postings, we are going to visit Disneyland this year on one of the Trick or Treat days. Emma wanted to be Eeyore again...and I am going to be her donkey trainer. I figured that I made this costume once and I could do it again. :)
WTH? I do not understand the lingo of pattern makers....and the pictures are even more confusing. I litterally ended up sewing the back of the costume upside down to the front side, sewed the facing onto the collar, and THEN noticed that something was wrong. Yep. 
I felt lucky, when it came to the sleeves, that my mom had taught me a trick on how to pull elastic through a sleeve hole. It doesn't tell you this trick in the pattern and I would have struggled for hours. 
The whole process took about a month....maybe 12 hours of actual "work". I enjoyed making this costume for my little baby. We even made the tail detachable with velcro for fun. The best part.....learning what a "zipper foot" is and how to use it. :) The worst part....ripping the seams out of the nearly finished costume. :) The luckiest part.....that I caught my mistake before I sewed the thing closed. :) 
She is going to be a cute little donkey when we get to Disneyland. :) I can't wait!!
