Strawberry Puff Costume

I sewed this little costume for Lily's second Halloween so it is not a giveaway. I have all these pictures of her in it. There's one of her in the living room, one of her on the sidewalk, one of her in the wagon....and in all of them she is crying. Except for the wagon photo....where she is sleeping. I never got a chance to get a good photo of her on that special day but at least through this blog, I found a chance to get some funny ones of Molly enjoying the suit.

The body of the costume is made of soft warm fleece and stuffed with TONS and TONS of poly-fil. Perhaps too much. Holding becomes problematic.

The hat is knitted. I originally made one for lily and molly. Sometimes when I'm feeling really bedeviled we will go out to a public place and I put them on at the same time. I think in a year Lily might start asserting her independence about the issue.

If anyone would like a tutorial on how to knit the hat please let me know. If enough people were interested I'd be happy to write a tutorial.
