Squidward Costume
My son wanted to be Squidward for Halloween. There are no Squidward costumes to buy at all. So I had to make one. I am NOT a seamstress,however, I accomplished this task using my neighbors sewing machine.
I went and bought 2.5 yards of cotton material and used my sons jammies as a pattern to make the costume. He already had a brown shirt to wear over the blue Squidward "skin"/jammies (I sewed). He is not allowed to wear masks at school so, Squidwards head had to be a 'hat'.
My husband helped with this. He traced Squidwards head on the material and then I sewed it and stuffed it with paper. I then attached elastic to it so my son could put it on is head. oh! I used felt for this eyes and eyebrows and glued them on with a glue gun and then the dots and mouth were drawn on with a marker. This took half a day to complete. 2 Weeks before Halloween!
Now I can go relax and watch a movie or something. My son is very pleased and told me "THANKS!" when the project was complete.
