ENTERTAINING: The Grinch!
So, I sewed up this Grinch Costume! Well sort of. I bought the slippers, gloves and mask. The mask is really scary but it was scarier at first. It had yellow teeth and yellow eyes which made it too demonic. So, I found some paint at about 2 in the morning before the party and painted them white. A bit better. Not much but worth the effort. I sewed the green furry pants and the green furry neck cover. I had a red fleece hoodie but I cut the hood off and cut off thte hand pouch. Then I sewed on all those medium sized pom-poms. It came out perfectly. My twin club's Holiday Family party was a Grinch theme. Merry Grinchmas! Thank God one of the moms volunteered to wear this very hot costume.
