wild at heart.


I finally got around to bringing my Max (from Where The Wild Things Are) costume home from my Mum's! As the nights are getting colder and Halloween is edging closer, I've been craving this snuggly costume in the evenings.

I made it a couple of years ago for Halloween, when there was a lot of hype about the movie coming out. It's really thick as I lined it with a pretty floral fabric. Since I made this I've got better at making costumes, so I'd really like to make another one. Maybe a thinner one for the summer?!

What are you all going to dress as for Halloween?

Oh goodness this is perfect! I'd totally buy one off you if you made them. The film was so perfect and this would be an ace costume. I don't think I'm dressing up this year, I'm in France so need to see how the French do Halloween first before I embarrass myself too much

Wanted to go as Cher Lloyd but I don't think I can afford that much fake hair.
Also, worried that people will think I've forgotten it's Hallowe'en and that I'm just chavvy. x
