    Default My Daughter's Finished Costume

    She really wanted to be a unicorn, but there weren't any cheap patterns for one. I used a cat costume pattern and modified it. The dress is the cat pattern, the pants are from a pajama pattern, I modified the cat ears to turn them into horsey looking ears, the mane and tail and horn are all my ideas/work. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out and she just LOVES it!! Do you guys think that the bangs on the mane need to be longer, though? I can probably fix that pretty quick...I just can't really tell for sure.

    Your costume is fantastic!

    The bangs could be a little longer but I would make sure your daughter is comfortable with the length of the bangs.

    I wish I could sew like that.

    Thanks, you guys! =) I'm actually pretty proud of it. That panne is pretty tough to sew with. It's slippery and stretchy...You can't see the mistakes, though. LOL
