Lobster Baby

For Halloween I love my kids to have original costumes. The first year my son was a chef, the second year he was a gnome, and this year (not original) he was a cowboy with his own cardboard horse. So, my daughter had to have original costumes too! Forever I thought I wanted them to match, but then I saw something about doing a baby as a lobster and putting it in a pot!!! Well... that is exactly what I did! I used a simplicity pattern for baby pajamas to make the body.

Naturally, my husband being a chef, I had him dress up in his outfit and carry her around! She was a HIT. Cute little thing just sat in her pot and didn't make a peep!
