Turkey Hats

Our whole family is running in a Turkey Trot this weekend, so I thought it would be fun to wear turkey hats. I figured we can also wear them next week during our monthly visit to the retirement home.

Jonah's hat does fit him, he purposely pulled it over his eyes.

Re-fashioned Shirt.

Awhile back, my friend sent me the link to this blog post. I knew this was something I wanted to try, so I found this shirt at Goodwill for about a buck. I wasn't too concerned about what shirt I found, I knew the first one would mostly be for "practice".

I changed a few things, like adding elastic in the sleeves, and where I placed the ribbon. This is how it turned out:

Also, I learned to make the hairbow using this video.

Hooded capes

I helped with costumes for the homeschool play, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood. I made a couple more, but these are the only ones I made at home. The play was wonderful, like always. I'm just happy to be able to help out a little.
