Our little fella's first
time to a costume party was a birthday party with a football jersey dress code.
Then another birthday party where he had to wear a cowboy or Indian outfit. In
school every now and then they have some festival celebration which is
encouraged by wearing traditional attire. And the best ever time was his first
Halloween costume party at school where I made him his Fred Flintstone costume!
First I went to buy the
material, orange, black and blue. Had I found em all in felt, it would've made
things easier, but at least I found the black in velvet material.
Then I stitched the basic orange robe after taking his measurements (it's a loose knee length robe so not much thinking to do! Plus he's still 2, so it's like making it for a doll!) and then stitched the tie. Had to hem the sides to avoid thread coming out but I let the zig zag ends be.
Then I cut triangles with blunt edges out of the black velvet and stuck them all over the robe with fevicol. Voila! In a leisurely three hours the outfit was ready!

We also had to send a small
gift for all class mates that went into their Halloween treat bags (whistles,
candies, etc I sent colourful foam balls!). So that was his last day of school
before his two week Diwali vacation!
So maybe in the years to
come we'll be able to venture into more elaborate costumes (hulk, iron man,
gandalf, who knows!) that'll be so much fun!
