Dear Sis,

Our living room has been a sewing studio for the past three days! William picked this kangaroo pattern this year. When I pointed out that only girl kangaroos have joeys, he said, “That’s okay. I’ll be a mama.” If he doesn’t care, neither do I:)

We used brown fabric instead of orange. The orange seemed too similar to the fox costume we made last year. William is so tall and thin, we made the 2T in width and the 4T in height:) We left off the contrasting cuffs at the wrists and ankles. It was long enough without it, and I figured it would only get dirty anyway. We also skipped the appliqué faces on the hood and stuffed animal. Since we decided to use brown fabric, the black appliqué would be nearly invisible. I decided not to do work, no one would be able to see. William didn’t notice it was missing.

There may be no trick-or-treat this year, but we are going to have a Halloween themed book club where we can wear our costume!

Love,

b
