A Cow Costume

My little Cow!

This is my son Rains...he is 14 months old....

and he is the cutest cow I've ever seen~!

I had soooo much FUN making this little costume for him...

Here's what I used:

1 1/2 yards of white fur

black fabric paint

pink and white felt

ribbon

cow bell

pattern

Sure....I could have spend $10 at Wal-mart and bought a cow costume...but what FUN is that....

Nothing beats Handmade!

I just couldn't find any cow print that I liked...so I painted my own!

Plus it's cold here and I needed fabric that would keep my boy warm on his search for CANDY!

I cut out my pattern pieces after the painted dried.

I only used the 2 body pieces, 2 sleeves and 3 hood pieces.

I don't have a sewing machine so I just whipped stitched everything together on our 6 hour road trip to Denver.

Fur is very forgiving and I didn't have to hem or fussed to much with the little details of the pattern.

Add a cow bell on some ribbon......

2 white felt horns and a braided yarn cow tail....

and you get the cutest COW ever!
