Update: Here’s my little astronaut, heading out for some tricks and treats. Sadly, I am at home with the flu and won’t even get to shrug off any praise his costume attracts. “Oh, that? Just a little duct tape!” I had imagined myself saying. Sigh. Hopefully I will be better by tomorrow when we hit the streets again. Click […]

I was all set to sew my son a fairly easy white jumpsuit to make his astronaut Halloween costume when I came up with what seemed like a great idea: turning a thrift-store snowsuit into a spacesuit.

Surprisingly, my son has yet to waver from his desire to be an astronaut for Halloween this year, but here’s something I made him last year in an attempt to cover his ever-changing alter-egos: a reversible, 4-in-1 cape. With two colors to choose from plus button-on embellishments and a button-on hood, he can quickly transform himself from […] |
