Bee-youtiful costume fail

by Dottie at Modern Kiddo

I was so innocent at the beginning. I came up with the sweetest idea. How about a widdle bumble bee Halloween costume?  Surely, I could pull that off. I used to work in the costume shop for my college’s theater department. I’ve owned my own sewing machine for 30 years!  I would just make a cute little A-line jumper made of warm black and yellow  felt that will keep her cozy and match it with a hand knit hat. Perfect, right?

Except I used a dull old rotary cutter to cut the strips of yellow, so it looks like I was drunk when I cut them…

• And I forgot to match the edges, so the stripes were off..
• And then I  tried to fix the too wide stripes after I sewed it together by adding more not straight stripes with glue…
• And since  felt and glue aren’t best friends, the additional stripes kept falling off…
• And, OK, maybe I used some staples to hold the stupid stripes in place…
• And the knit hat was too big, so I decreased and accidentally made it too small..
• And I forgot to buy pipe cleaners to get the antenna straight…
• And I ran out of time to make yellow tulle wings…
• And I… well….  Here you go.

Part bumble bee/part hobo and 100 percent CRAFT FAIL.
