Jessie was pretty easy. The white shirt was painted yellow, edged with ric-rac, and then a little sequin loopty-loo. The red hat was from the dollar store. I punched holes all around the edge and then wove cording through them.
The red braid was first attached to the hat with tape, but that caught her hair, so I attached it to her real ponytail. She wore it to a birthday party for two hours straight and it held up, so that's good. Of course, in this photo I forgot to put a little yellow ribbon at the end of the braid.
As for the dinosaur, she wanted to be an orange dino, so I ordered matching pants and sweatshirt. She wears a size 2 and they were a size 2-3, but they were way too big, so I had to hem the bottoms. I just folded the cuffs up and tacked them down, but I was crunched for time and that was a bit of a pain.
I found the pattern from this website.
She was a little bit scared of it and was pretty reluctant to wear it for more than 10 minutes. We'll see how she does on Halloween night. Candy is a pretty big motivator.
