Monsters Inc. and Boo


If you like this costume I would appreciate if you would take a second and vote for it!

Thanks! 


I planned on doing this for a tutorial. I started out by taking pictures with each step. Then the further I got into it, the more I began picking out sewing mistakes, cutting things out wrong, and feeling very overwhelmed. I just couldn't do a tutorial on something that I couldn't explain myself. LOL! I do not sew unless one of my kids plead for me to do so. After much trial and error, we ended up with a cute little Boo. (MY grand daughter Halee)


This costume won the Halloween Costume Contest hosted by The Grant Life

    That is brilliant. Did you use a mop for the top?

    I love this! My daughter looked like Boo last year, but we didn't do the costume and now her hair is lighter and much curlier so we went with something else. But this looks great! Pinning it!

    Hi Marcie, visiting from Bloom Designs Online. This has to be the cutest Halloween costume I've ever seen in my life. I have a warm spot in my heart for Boo, because our youngest daughter was a toddler when the movie came out and looked just like her, pigtails and all. Much the same as your granddaughter. This costume would have been perfect for her. Very well done!
