Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-from-sewing-bees#post-2303287 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 09:19:51 +0000 MamaCate 2303287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks very do able! If you want to make it even cheaper you could use plastic from a package or maybe even a cardboard box to make the fin, and/or skip the batting if it is expensive. </p> <p>Sometimes I think I will save all this money by sewing myself but the materials can add up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-from-sewing-bees#post-2303276 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 09:12:29 +0000 jhd 2303276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlebug: that's cute! I think it's totally do able. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-from-sewing-bees#post-2303220 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 07:30:36 +0000 Silva 2303220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally. The dorsal fin would be the only tricky part, you could even hot glue the face pieces on if you wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/thoughts-from-sewing-bees#post-2303212 Sun, 27 Sep 2015 07:12:25 +0000 littlebug 2303212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D is slightly obsessed with Bruce the Shark from Finding Nemo (for a while he wanted to name Babygirl Bruce the Shark!). So I think he's going to be Bruce the Shark for Halloween. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a costume, because he's easily scared by people in masks, so trick-or-treating is out of hte question. He'll probalby just wear the costume for the daycare Halloween parade and to help us hand out candy. I found this tutorial to make a shark costume out of a sweatsuit. <a href="http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2013/10/halloween-costume-ideas-simple-shark-with-dorsal-fin.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2013/10/halloween-costume-ideas-simple-shark-with-dorsal-fin.html</a></p> <p>I have not touched a sewing machine in 10+ years. Does this look like it would be very complicated? I think I should be able to handle it, but seeing as I don't want to spend a lot of money on a costume, I don't want to totally eff it up and have to buy another sweatshirt or whatever. So, sewing bees, do you think a semi-novice can handle this? </p>
