My Little Dalmatian Puppy

Last week, my 4-month old baby became a cute dalmatian puppy for his very first Halloween!

Initially, I had wanted to buy him a bee costume that I saw on Ebay Philippines. But I was not lucky enough to snag the bid. Since it was already too late to order online, I decided to make his costume myself. In a moment of inspiration, I hit upon the idea of using one of his old white bodysuit onesies and put spots on it to simulate a dalmatian. My teener and her friend volunteered to draw the spots on it using a permanent marker. (wrong move, i should have used a fabric marker). Though the photo here doesn’t show it, I cut up and attached two black ears and a tail to the bodysuit using an old pair of hubby’s black socks. I also had this bright idea of using a red collar, dog tag and leash but unfortunately, those items weren’t available in my house in that late hour.

Everyone who saw him during the trick or treat night thought he was so cute in his costume and couldn’t believe that is was handmade. I got so many compliments on it that I’m now contemplating on making it a business for next year’s Halloween.

Orders, anyone?
