All I know is that I think I'm living in a fire station because I've got a fireman at my door and a dalmatian running in the yard!!!
I made the coat and pants. I tackled a collar and I don't love how it looks inside, but it turned out just fine for a costume. I bought some iron-on reflective tape and then reinforced it by stitching the edges. My husband tracked down a Fire Supply store and we got the hat, boots, and letters for our last name on the back of the jacket. The suspenders were actually my brother's when he was little - my mom had them in a box and they were perfect for this!
The air pack is a 2-liter bottle spray painted gray. I then hot-glued webbing straps to one side, added D-rings and tried it on for size. We realized it needed a little more so we looked up Scott Air Packs online. I enlarged the picture, printed it out, and Mod-Podged it on. That added a little shine to make it glossier, and made it look like a little more than just a spray painted bottle.
The dalmatian costume is a white sweatshirt & leggings (store-bought) with felt dots I sewed all over. The ears are white felt. I made sure to give her a cute little collar with a heart tag. She wore black patent leather shoes too - just because!
Hope you had a Happy Halloween! I'm off to enjoy a little more chocolate...
and on the back:
For the other baby (whose mom's favorite color is red):
and on the back:
The airplane was machine embroidered on a piece of red knit, with white felt underneath. Then the top red knit was cut away. Then I cute the white felt in a larger shape around the red plane, and used red thread to attach it to the back of the sweatshirt.
Christmas tree on a light brown tee.
Reverse applique & machine embroidered snowflake on a red tee.
Ornaments on the neckline of a white onesie.
Mittens by the pocket of a hooded sweatshirt.
Mittens on a clothesline on the back of the sweatshirt.
Rudolph & some light bulbs saying HO HO HO!!!!

With raw-edge appliqued wings and ricrac antennae, these butterflies are full of cuteness & character!
And of course, they have their names on the front too. Enjoy, girls!
