Ryder is going to be an octopus for Halloween, and I'm making his costume. ::gulp::

I'm so excited for his first neighborhood debut.

EEK! He'll be the most adorable octopus ever.?

Still looking...

Here are the directions I'm following. They seem easy.

Purchase 3 pair of opaque purple tights. If you cannot find purple tights, you should buy black opaque tights instead.
Step 2

Cut the tights in half at the crotch and fill each leg with filler. Pin or sew the top of the legs to keep the filler inside.
Step 3

Buy a purple hooded sweatshirt, preferably one with a drawstring around the hood so that you can pull the hood tight around your face. If you cannot find a purple hooded sweatshirt or have purchased black tights to use as legs, than buy a black hooded sweatshirt.
Step 4

Attach three stuffed tights to the front of the sweatshirt, and three to the back along the neckline. Put the open end toward the top of the sweatshirt. You can either attach the tights by sewing them on, or you can use large safety pins.
Step 5

Wear purple or black pants with your sweatshirt to complete the costume.

Man, I can't find one! If you get Parents Magazine, there's a great photo of the pattern I'm using in there.

Manalyzer · September 2009

Oooh, I do get Parents. I'll have to check for it.
