a little background info.




so i made this ridiculous costume. handmade it.
jer commissioned me to do so. so...out of my love for him and my love for ELF, the willferrell elf, i attempted to make my first item of clothing.

the process was ridiculous. going to joann's on black friday to get the best deal on fabric.... buying white tights dyeing them yellow, handstiching the elf shoes.... and after 5 attempts at the hat, finally getting it right.

all that work... and atticus was in the costume for a total of about 10 min. ridiculous.

next time i'll use a pattern.

next time? what am i thinking.

i hope atticus forgives us someday...

    That is too awesome. Can I send you my measurements? But can my tights be less transparent? I will pay extra.
