Bo knew exactly what to do when we found this costume at the thrift store.

Elsa
Bo wanted to be Elsa for Halloween. I'm not one to go out a buy a costume.
I guess I don't see the need to make things easy for myself. :)
Really and truly, I love putting costumes together for my kids. It's a challenge I enjoy.
I bought some blue fabric that wouldn't fray and a strip of shiny blue fabric to use as a belt
(and also to keep the whole thing together). I cut two diamond shapes, sewed them together at each shoulder, and put a couple of stitches in at the breast and back. That was the hardest part because I couldn't find the right needle/thread combination to make it work! My machine kept skipping stitches and it was maddening.
I knew Bo wouldn't be happy if she couldn't make it spin...

How To Follow Through with Daughter's Requests for Jane Outfit
TOP
1. Find one old sleeveless tank.
2. Cut in half.
3. Put top half of tank on child to get an idea of how to take in the sides for a better fit.
4. Sew a straight line down both sides to take it in (Be sure to leave arm holes!).
5. Turn top around backwards if yours has an adult size v-neck like mine.

SKIRT
1.Take bottom half of tank (a strip of fabric sewn together).
2. Add button to one side at waist level.
3. Put bottom of tank on child at waist level and mark where button should meet the fabric for a snug fit.
4. Remove and cut button hole with scissors.
You're done!
Remember Jane wouldn't have had a sewing machine in the jungle so rough edges are not only ok, they are what you want.
Lil' Jane has a crush on Tarzan. Which is funny 'cause my Mom and I also have a crush on Tarzan. Our Tarzan is originally from Greystoke (hubba bubba) and Lil' Jane's Tarzan is animated.
