Ava's favorite character is the Scarecrow, pattern is pretty simple, i think she makes the cutest Scarecrow ever!!

What are you most proud of?

using the bulky yarn in place of straw or jute, making sure it didnt itch at the wrists!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

using fleece for the costume makes it nice and warm, even at the end of october, if you're from warmer climes, maybe a lighter fabric works better!

Very cute! I did this pattern (I think it was the same one) for daughter's 2nd grade school play. She looked cute too......lol. BUT I see you were smarter than I was. I like how you did the fleece and rope for the straw. Has to be more comfortable for the wearer. I followed my pattern and used actual straw............duh!

Well, Ava is just priceless in her scarecrow costume. The costume is really wonderful. No itching, she will be warm & no worries about a mask on her beautiful little face. You really did well on the costume, I like how you made the straw. Perfect. Thank you for sharing. :-)
