I've heard variations of this joke before, and I'm no exception: I refuse to spend $20 on a Halloween costume, but I'll spent $40 on materials and spend a month making it myself! Worth it. The biggest live events on all 11 Sky Sports channels. I put a bit of stuffing into the captain hat so it would hold its shape before I hand-stitched it to the fleece hat. The stripes and Octonauts symbol are cut from felt and attached with craft glue. Then I topstitched the bottom edge of the brim closed. ![]() Then I made a slightly domed hat portion, cut it into a circle to fit inside the brim, and machined-sewed it to the inner brim piece only, about halfway down the brim. To make the captain hat, I made two identical felt brims, sewed them together into tubes, sewed them together along the top edge, then turned them inside out, pressed, and topstitched the top edge. I made at least 4 hat brims before I found one that fit correctly on the fleece hat. Then, I free-handed the fleece captain hat, but my math/measuring skills were NOT WORKING. I tried to freehand the fleece pattern, but couldn't get a good fit, so I used a free pattern from Fleece Fun and added little fleece ears into the side seam.

Their clothes are a bit pricey (I used a coupon code), but it's surprisingly hard to find a matching shirt and sweats in a color other than black or gray anywhere else! I also ordered the rubber boots from Amazon. Me: "How many legs does Professor Inkling have?"įor the costume, I ordered the blue sweatpants and t-shirt from Primary. We were discussing how many legs different types of animals have, and I asked about Professor Inkling (the Octopus from Octonauts). Mae also got in a little "trick" on us this week. She was so excited about it that we had to take it with us on our mini-vacation last weekend. We've enjoyed the Halloween haul, and Mae even shared her full-size Hershey bar with me.
