Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready to clown around?
It’s Loontette and Molly, a clown and her dolly, on the Big Comfy Couch! 🌛
I just saw my first Spirit Halloween for the year, so I thought I’d share last year’s Halloween costume! It was a true DIY project.
Since Loonette is quite a “vintage” character, it was hard to find items to make the costume. Molly isn’t in production anymore and eBay prices are through the roof. If I could find a shirt like Loonette’s, it was cheap quality or for children. So, to the drawing board!
With my crochet skills, I thought I could just make a Molly. While no super accurate patterns exist, I found this old TikTok of a girl making her own pattern. She even said she’d send people her rough draft, but I never received a response. So…I screenshotted the notes from the video, transcribed them, and formatted them. And even made my own edits! Eventually, I made post it online for others to use (with credit of course!). But, this is how she turned out! Lots of time and effort in this one…
For the shirt, my lovely coworker and friend helped me with her Circut Machine! She printed all of the moons and noses, applied them with me, and then I drew on the eyes.
Overall, I think this may be one of my best costumes yet! How am I going to top it???
