With Halloween on the horizon reminds me of dressing up as Tigger one year. I sew...a lot. I bought some bright orange tiger stripe knit fabric. The kind tee shirts are fashioned from. I made a big body suit by taking a pants pattern and shirt pattern and cutting them into one long suit. I then made slipper type feet to wear over my sneakers. Made half gloves to cover my hands. I sewed a tube from the fabric and stuffed it for a tail...dang thing was as long as I am tall so I could carry it around. For ears I made big tigger ears and attached them to a head band. To be extra goofy...I put my hair up in piggy tails. So here's a 46 year young woman bouncing in the door dressed like Tigger.
I looked hillarious...but went to the party to play with my pals. It was a blast. I got much more attention than I bargained for though. Won the Best Costume prize that night. Had to stand for a zillion pictures and accept the Lampshade Award. This is an award my old crew came up with to give to the person who is the biggest jokester of the night (or the drunkest, lol)
Fun times...some times as an introvert we need to just cut loose and have fun. Just because we need time alone shouldn't prevent us from being the Star of the Show.
