Return to Oz

What to be for Halloween, what to be? Well, Julia fits into Evelyn's old Dorothy costume, and I was able to convince Julia to dress up in the blue gingham dress I made four years ago. Both girls then decided that Evelyn should be another character from the movie "The Wizard of Oz." It was a tough choice for Evelyn - she wanted to either be the Wicked With of the West (Dorothy's enemy) or the Scarecrow (Dorothy's friend). After lots and lots of consideration, Evelyn chose to be Dorothy's friend, the Scarecrow.I know this is the latest - by far! - that I have started making a Halloween costume...and I hope this doesn't come back to bite me...but I think making Scarecrow will be quite a bit easier than the costumes I have made the last four years. There's no tulle, no sequins, no skirt layers. Basically I need to make a pair of pajamas with a hat/hood combo. Oh, and sew raffia here and there. Fingers crossed that this costume is as easy as I think it is!
