One of the first things I designed myself and made was a Dorothy the Dinosaur costume for my then 2 year old. We were going to see Dorothy the Dinosaur (from The Wiggles) at the theatre and my son wanted to dress up. I wanted to make sure that whatever I made was going to last (and it has, that was almost 5 years ago), was comfy, and was easy to get on and off (and, actually, not needed to get off in order to go the toilet!). The result was a green furry tabard and hood, with yellow spots, yellow spines and a big squishy tail. A year later I made a knight costume for the same son and his friend, with blue and red quarters, a shield and a visor on the hood. It's also still going strong... and in fact, he wore it only a few months ago for a party. Since then, I've made tigers, penguins, rabbits, lambs, cheetahs, dogs, cats and an adult sized pigeon.
