Ethan's hippie day @ church

Ethan is wear part of Briyanna's halloween costume, so I have to give her some credit here, but I have to tell you all about this outfit. I went to Savers and loaded up my cart with... well, crap! I got 4 ties from who knows when, a belt that is absolute perfection... when it comes to this outfit, the headband/ scarf, the glasses, a sliced stone medalion and the vest. The vest was a womens vest, so I cut it down and stitched it all back up to make it a little kid's size. Then I bought the fringe and ric-rac at Walmart to finish it. Then Ethan's pants... what can I say?? Those are great! I cut then up the outsides and half-way up the leg on the inside and stitched the hideous ties in. It's the closest to bell bottoms that I could get. The shirt was done with food coloring and a spray bottle. Much cheaper than a real tie-dye job! I stitched ric-rac around the sleeves and pom-poms around the neck. Oh! I almost forgot. Last but not least... the shoes. These are actual vintage Nikes from the 70's that were my mom's! And!! They fit him perfectly! So there is a contest at our church this evening so I will keep you posted on how he does.
