I managed to finish Harrison’s scary clown suit in time for Halloween. It’s amazing how a costume can change someone so much.  I previously blogged on this here which shows the lekala pattern I downloaded. 

When I came home from my night shift at 7am on the morning of Halloween Harrison was fast asleep. I was so excited I had to wake him to show him his costume. Here’s how it went:

Mum: ‘trick or treat?’

H: ‘grunt’

Mum:  ‘trick or treat?’

H: ‘mmmm…..treat…..’

I laid his trick or treat bag at the side of his head….

H: ‘turn the lamp on…….’ (Sleepy voice)

Lamp on, holding up his costume…..

‘WOW!   MUM, IT’S AMAZING!!!!!’

He was really really really pleased – I don’t think he was that excited when he got his xbox for Christmas! 

We had a little photo shoot in the garden before he went out later that night:

And one last one……this is my clinical supervisor trying the costume on at work (on the left)……it’s had quite a few comments on FB as to him looking scarier than Harrison……

And here’s a tote bag I made him for his goodies with left over material:
