Well, I am finally getting back to sewing after several months of, well, not-due to more pressing problems. It is almost Carnival here and that means costumes! I managed to pick up a 5 M bolt of cowprint nervous velour cheap and cut out 2 cow costumes today. It is actually Simplicity 9808 which I have used to make leopards, the lion and even zebras. The kids love them. Anyway, I changed the tail and the ears a bit and am planning to sew on horns. What I am not sure about is the udder. The pattern has a contrasting patch on the stomach to represent the belly of the animal. I was thinking of making it smaller and moving it south a few inches to be the udder, maybe even pinning on 4 nipples from baby bottles. Does this sound gross? The one daughter is 4, the other is 8.
