It may be too late to craft something like this for this year, but keep this one in mind for next year! My sister-in-law is pregnant with our second nephew. When I heard that she and her husband were coming to a Halloween party with us this past weekend and didn’t know what to wear, I jumped into action (naturally).
In my research for the coolest pregnant women costumes, I came across this. Slightly morbid, yet too creative to pass up.
So I went to work on it. Our local Volunteers of America store was having a half-off everything sale and how could I possibly resist!?!
Blue T-shirt: $1.00
Beat up baby doll: $0.30
I had her try on the shirt and I marked it to tell where the arms and legs should go.
I cut small slits so I could poke the appendages through the shirt. After dismantling the poor baby doll, I stitched each body part to the shirt using the fabric that held the baby doll’s arms and legs to the torso.
And not wanting to be too morbid, I added a small ‘trick or treat’ bag to the baby’s hand.
Mr. Tote and I in 50 years…
We won for ‘funniest costume’ at the party we went to. I pinned our badge of honor to Mr. Tote’s rockin’ suspenders.
The old man likes his keg beer.
