kylee costume

This year Kylee and Brayden's Piano recital was a few weeks before Halloween so their teacher said they could dress up for their recital.  Brayden's costume was easy because we found stuff at Goodwill to alter for a Luke Skywalker costume.  Kylee had visions of creating a Vampire costume and had even made a sketch.  Not thinking that she was really going to do it, we didn't ge the material until the night before the piano recital.  I had my doubts that it could be done, but Matt was good about just letting her try.  She started sewing at 10 p.m. and finished at 12:30.  I went to bed at 12 and was sure that she wasn't going to finish it.   Amazingly she did not use a pattern and just looked at the material, roughly measured and then cut and sewed. I thought for sure she wouldn't finish in time, and when she did I thought for sure she wouldn't fit in it when she was done. She tried it on and fit in it, even though there was no zipper.

Then again a few weeks later for the church halloween party she made a whole new costume in a couple of hours.  We are not sure where she gets her talent, but Kylee frequently amazes us.
