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.

Sounds like fun, go for the baby bottle nipples. What the heck it's Carnival! Juno
How about an inflated surgical glove affixed in the strategic location? Tuck the thumb inside to leave four fingers.

well, you have to make sure you leave room for the udders, and make sure the velcro goes all the way down teh front leg.
Then you....oh. Never mind.

Isn't that a hoot? That designer has a wild sense of humor, similar to Catherine Chow (aka Cat Chow), who is currently exhibiting at our Cincinnati Art Museum. She has one dress (Cat Chow, that is) made of
1,000 dollar bills that she asked for from 1,000 different people. I have not yet been to see the exhibit, but this is one I really want to see.Karen Maslowski in Cincinnati

It IS a small world! The curator of the Cincinnati Art Museum was interviewed last week on our local PBS station, and she mentioned that Cat's original training was in making chain mail.
So have you see her things?

My husband had a friend that went to a Halloween party wearing a pink sweatshirt with baby bottle nipples on it......said he was a pig. Joy
