The Hatchling

My daughter’s very first Halloween costume is and will probably always be one of my favorite homemade Halloween costumes ever. I was inspired to make this little chick hatching from an egg costume after seeing an article in Parenting magazine on baby costumes. Briana was only 3 months old on her first Halloween.

The original idea was to attach the costume to a baby carrier. I decided to revise their idea just a little since I did not own a baby carrier. The costume was very easy to make. Since she was a newborn, I thought this costume was quite appropriate for her first Halloween. She was the hit of the party that we attended that night. One of my friends borrowed the costume for her new baby the following Halloween. Everyone still talks about the costume and how cute she looked. I am a big fan of homemade Halloween costumes. This year I plan on making a little lamb costume that was shown in the Family Fun magazine.
