I cut out the bottom so Pi could stand in it.
Cut felt to wrap around the laundry basket. Using an empty Slurpee cup as inspiration, I cut felt swirls and basted them on with quilt basting spray. This held them in place, so I could sew them without them shifting.
Baste some more!
Here it is pinned on the laundry basket to get a feel for how it looks.
Next up is add a 7-11 fabric patch. I used fabric scraps ironed onto freezer paper to feed it through an ink jet printer.
Stay tuned to see how the Slurpee progresses this week. It's crunch time now!
P.S. - sorry for the dark pics. Most of this was done in the middle of the night.

Dude, you are THE COOLEST MOM EVER!
I agree with Kaye! You are an awesome mom! Pi is very lucky! In the meantime, I haven't even bought my kids' Halloween costumes yet.
Oh, my goodness! You are going to do it!!!! YeeHaw!!!!
What everyone else said. SO fantastically awesome! And it's not even complete yet!! Pi is a very lucky girl!
Oh man, Are you going to make sure she wears a red tube-hat? (Straw!)
That is an awesome costume. My girls are grown and don't ask for those inventive things anymore. One year we made a shark costume complete with rows of teeth. I wanted one of the girls to be a bloody waterskier but they said no. Using the basket was inspired!
That is a great costume! It reminds me a bit of the Coors Light can my mother made for my brother's costume back in the 80s. Of course, he got sent home from school for dressing as an alcoholic beverage. The Slurpee is great though; you won't have that problem and there are swirls!
This is nothing short of crafting genius! I have to make sure my mom makes it over to see this. :D
Piper is so lucky.
<3
Whatever happened with your Slurpee costume? I would love to see how it turned out! I'm thinking about doing it for my daughter this year.
