Homemade No Sew Supergirl Costume

Homemade No sew Supergirl Costume | Mama Papa Bubba

Last year, Gracen knew exactly what she wanted to be for Halloween – a brown fox.  She decided weeks in advance and never once wavered.  This year she wasn’t quite as sure.  In the beginning, she was fairly certain that she wanted to be a giraffe or a kangaroo, but eventually the ideas of a lion, hippo, and tiger got thrown into the mix too.  I was a little bit worried about how I’d pull off one of those ideas sans sewing machine, so I was pretty relieved when she mentioned being a superhero.  That I could do.  I showed her a photo of PBK’s gorgeous amazing girl costume, and she was immediately sold (the tutu may have done it ☺).  With that, I collected a few craft supplies (some felt, sparkly craft foam, ribbon, self-adhesive velcro, and elastic) and a few awesome and inexpensive pieces from our local H&M {a headband, a teeny purse, shoe wings, and a half price leotard with a tutu attached) and we were good to go.  Thinking back to last year’s night before costume, I must enjoy working under pressure, because armed with my glue gun and a pair of scissors, I began working on Miss G’s Supergirl costume last night at 11 p.m.   The good news is that because the project involved absolutely no sewing, I was done in 2 hours flat.  Yay for that!

Supergirl Goes to the Park

8 / 15 / 128 / 15 / 12

Today Gracen woke up and wanted me to tie a receiving blanket around her neck.  Of course, Baby couldn’t be left out of the fun, so a small snuggly tied around her neck it was.  I’m not sure what inspired this (maybe the graphic novels Papa’s been reading her while we all snuggle in bed in the mornings?), but today I spent my day with two mini superheroes.  And there was no convincing either of them that capes are ‘at home things’ either… So off to the park we went, me and my two Supergirls.  

I must admit, I’ve seen little girls dressed in princess costumes {and those “dancer”-esque clear plastic heels} at the grocery store and thought to myself ‘My kids won’t where dress-up clothes while out in public‘, but there I was at the park, with not one, but two in costume.  I’m sure some of the other parents and nannies thought we were nuts.  But then again, maybe they know just what it’s like… 

Miss G did take her cape off while on the climbing apparatus and slides (safety first!), but you bet your bottom dollar she put it right back on again afterwards.
