panda halloween costume with bamboo purse

what's white, black, and super cuddly? a hand-sewn and crocheted panda costume, that's what! this year for halloween i decided to play into my asian stereotype - oh there were peace signs at every camera flash. i crocheted my scoodie (hoodie + scarf) and sewed my furry black and white dress with leftover white furry fabric and a black old navy tank. i crocheted my big bamboo stick and sewed a zipper around the bottom so that it would double as a purse. I used some black furry fabric for around my boots and VOILA! a squishy, huggable, and fairly warm costume for the freezing temperatures we experience on halloween in alaska. rawr.

see last year's totoro costume HERE

  2. You always look so pretty in your photo mode. The close-up photo, "insert cute panda noises" is unreal to me. Do me favor?? Your creative!! Build me a time machine?? Long shot?? Okok, if you ever do in fact create a time machine, please attach a series of cute photos much like the great ones provided above, with said "time machine" !! Simple fan requests right :) it be awesome for the ignorant who make poor life choices. Or for those who really like back to the future?? Either way u'd be the best, take care!!

    3. My comment was more aimed for a smile. I truely just enjoyed your creative little outfit and how cute you looked in it. However, the time machine would be rad, and although I'm not a big "back to the future" fan I definitely would appreciate a ride back in time to see that pretty person in the outfit again. Keep steady at your craft! ;)
