There was no way I was going to let my children and husband have all kinds of fun without me. And I never pass up a reason to sew up something beautiful for myself! Little Red Riding Hood may not be in the same fairy tale as the 3 Little Pigs, but she does cross over with the Big Bad Wolf and you better believe I took that up for a challenge. And it was a lot easier then I thought it would be.
Starting with the basics I made this cute Tee Dress from Ellie and Mac, added a pretty and modified half apron from The Seasoned Homemaker (pattern can be found here on Craftsy). I grabbed a cute basket from a local second-hand store because you can't be Little Red Riding Hood without a basket! And then topped off the whole costume with this gorgeous Red Double Brushed Poly from The Fab Clique to make a Stay Cozy Jacket from Ellie and Mac without layering the hood. The hood on this one is HUGE and perfect for Little Red Riding Hood!!
My handsome and devilish Coby is dressed all in thrift store clothes torn apart and patched back together with faux fur. For more details, check out this post. He says it's very scratchy and doesn't like the huge furry collar, but thankfully we still have some time to adjust it to be exactly what he wants. We figure it will take us a few years to make it perfect, especially considering he really would like to look like a werewolf from the movies, and I'm just not sure my sewing abilities are quite up to that level, yet. This is a great start!
I love this picture! I think it's a pretty sweet shot of the two of us. And we have to give credit where it's due, Kaylie took this photo! And all of the photos of the two of us. She is becoming quite the talented young lady!
My eyes are closed!! That's a shame because this is a good picture too! I love the way the sky looks in the background. And can you see that he is trying to steal the goodies from my basket? That sneaky wolf!
And he's trying to steal kisses too!! For shame!! That big bad wolf! 🤣 I wish I hadn't been laughing so hard, I scrunched up my face! But its a pretty good picture anyway.
And apparently, I finally gave in and let him take a peek into my basket! For shame!! It's a good thing I kind of like him! 🤣 He worked pretty hard to get this peek. And he's mine already, so I'm not ashamed to have let him! He is MY Big Bad Wolf after all!
