I know.
\nHalloween is so<\/em> two weeks ago.
\nBUT….I must share the girls costumes with you!
\nBecause they’re so much fun!
\nAnd if by chance you have a LalaLoopsy loving girl at your house, you can tuck this post away till Halloween rolls around again.<\/p>\n

Okay.
\nHere’s part 2 of our holiday.
\nUnlike Owen<\/a>, Lucy knew what she wanted to be for Halloween months ago….in fact, she told me in the summer that she and her friends were going to dress as Lalaloopsies.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThey just love these little dolls.
\nThey can’t get enough of them! \u00a0 I keep a small bag of them in my purse and it keeps the kids occupied when we go out to eat—even Owen.\u00a0 He likes to be Patch.
\nFor her birthday, we got Lucy the collectors book<\/a> and she looked at that thing for a month straight (now we’ve been giving copies to friends on their birthday!)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOne thing I love about these little dolls is their story—it’s all about sewing and having your own unique personality.\u00a0 Lalaloopsies are rag dolls that came to life when their last stitch was sewn.\u00a0\u00a0 And their outfits are repurposed from other items.\u00a0 Fantastic!<\/p>\n

Of course picking WHICH doll to be isn’t easy….there are so many cute ones.
\nBut Lucy decided on Peanut—Peanut Big Top.
\nAccording to the collector’s guide (heh heh), Peanut has a special talent for making people laugh, and she’s never afraid to show her silly side.<\/i>\u00a0 And her costume is made from an old clown costume.
\nI love it!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWhen it came to sewing Lucy’s costume, Lucy had the whole thing figured out….
\nMom you can just make me one of those circle skirts<\/a>, and a little polka dot shirt like those jammies<\/a> you made me, and then some tights!\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

Great plan Luce!\u00a0 Great plan. <\/i>
\nAnd so the week before Halloween, <\/i>it all came together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

And she totally loved it…which is always the best reward for your labors.
\nHappy, excited kids.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nHere’s what we did….
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI made a triple-layer circle skirt<\/a> using 100% quilter’s cotton.\u00a0 I wanted it to be a little stiffer—so the layers would stand out without needing a petticoat underneath—and the fabric worked great.\u00a0 You could also make Peanut’s skirt from tulle (if you look online, there are various versions of her outfit and various ways you could make it)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nFor the shirt I used the First Day Dress pattern<\/a>, adding some ruffled flutter sleeves and a lacy placket to the front.\u00a0 I love it when I have patterns all ready to go for this stuff!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd I really love how the shirt and skirt turned out.\u00a0 She might actually wear these again as normal clothes.\u00a0 And…. I kinda want that shirt for myself!<\/p>\n

Now the key to really looking like a Lalaloopsy is the yarn wig….which I’m going to have share more about in a separate tutorial.\u00a0 It’s not hard to make, but there are some tips that will help.\u00a0 To get you started: it’s a knit beanie hat underneath, with yarn sewn into a part on top.\u00a0 It’s not perfect and every once in a while you could see her bits of her beanie.\u00a0 But overall it worked great!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThen we threw it all together with some pink shoes, red laces, a pair of tights (I purchased these) with a heart on the right knee (we just taped a felt heart on because sewing it in place was too complicated.\u00a0 Ding!)
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd we added a pair of fingerless gloves.
\nI just cut two rectangles of fabric, folded the tops and bottom under and sewed them in a tube. Then I cut a small hole for the thumb.\u00a0 No hemming or finishing.\u00a0 And she actually lost this pair when she wore the outfit to dance class, so I whipped up another pair in red fabric and liked those even better.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd there you go!\u00a0 Just as she had planned.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd to top<\/em> it all off,
\nthere’s this girl.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nYES!\u00a0 We finally dressed Clara in a real costume!
\nCause did you know that Peanut has a little sister???
\nShe’s Squirt Lil’ Top!\u00a0 Too perfect.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nAnd she wears this darling romper, also made from an old clown costume (according to legend).\u00a0\u00a0 So I came up with a make-shift romper using the KID shorts pattern<\/a> and the circle skirt tutorial<\/a> for the collar, and it worked out pretty well.
\nI made yarn pom-poms using my tutorial here<\/a>, then measured felt circles the size of the poms and sewed them to the romper first, and then hot glued the pom-poms to the felt.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nI wish I had added one extra inch in the length, cause it’s a bit snug on her bum and shoulders….but it only makes her more endearing.
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\nThen I sewed up a quick pair of leggings, added the wig and shoes and shew was ready to go!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOne Lala Lucy and one Lil’ Squirt.
\nSounds about right.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOh I lala LOVE you girls!
\nI hope you stay friends forever.<\/p>\n

And that is officially a Halloween wrap.
