Message Boards

- involving a child's costume for a play. One of our vendor friends at Canton came over to me last weekend asking if I collected patterns. I asked what she was looking for & it was for her 5 yr old son who is supposed to be a fox for a school program. I thought maybe the Red Riding Hood pattern would have a "wolf" pattern so I went home to check. Sure enough it was a halloween costume but only for the human characters. She has 2 wks before the program so I told her that I have a great bunch of friends on a message board who may have a link or even a pattern.

anyways...my craft show report is sad...sad...sad. It started out sooooo well back in September but since then, it has all but tanked. I am hoping that after today, things will turn around. I am not the only one who has been affected. Other vendors are as sad as me.

Well gotta get back to work - I do have 50 empty oven apron hangers to fill & hopefully can get out to prime a few light bulbs. Other than that...I won't be back til January.

T's & P's to those on the east coast. It's been rough watching the news this past week.

AND I do have a new addition to my Grammy collection. Sophie was born Sept. 24 - my birthday present! Only down side is they live 7 hrs away!

So keep crafting! as always,

Debi O'

ps. and thanks if you can help out.

Debi I would suggest a google image search. But you can't have shy eyes for this search because you will see some FOXy ladies dressed up also.
I don't quite understand this part of your post.

Aunt Diane. Pretty sure she meant the only costumes they could find were for the human characters and not the fox. I tried a search for patterns and could find none. It wasn't a long search though since I just didn't have the time. She might just try winging it. There were a few places to buy them outright but if it's for Halloween it's pretty much past that now. If not, let me know and I'll try looking again when I have more time. Sorry.

I found this one. Is it anything like what you would want?

I knew I had a treasure chest of friends here & I am so thankful for you all!!!
