Whew, October was busy for me yaโll! ๐
We were preparing for a few Halloween contests at work. Of course, our theme was The Flintstones. Two coworkers asked for some help with their outfits. My friend chose this fuzzy orange material for his โFredโ costume, we used felt for our โPebblesโ costume and I chose knit fabric for my โBettyโ costume. I also used felt for my hair bow, necklace, the black triangles and โFredโsโ tie. I decided to just lay out a regular tie along the felt and use that as my pattern. I tied it up just like a regular tie. It was definitely a challenge to sew these costumes using materials I have never used before. I am used to sewing with cotton. ๐ฅฐ
I was so excited to see the finished products. These are the first costumes I have ever made. We ended up winning first place for the team costumes, and second place on decorations!!! ๐๐๐๐๐ป
