Tutorial: The Very Hungry Caterpillar costume for a child

Joy from xoxo Grandma tells how she made this Very Hungry Caterpillar costume for her granddaughter.  It’s her response to the Signature Style sew-along theme for Project Run and Play.  It’s based on a dress pattern, with elastic added to poof it up, and stuffed poufs stitched to the back.  For the face, there’s a red hat with big eyes and antennae.  This would make a sweet costume for Halloween!  It would also be neat for a book dress-up day or for just pretend play around the house.

With all the excitement and expectation of Santa’s visit, it can be hard for kids to go to sleep on Christmas Eve.  Melissa from Polka Dot Chair created special pillowcases for her nephews, to be used only on Christmas Eve.  When she gave them to them, she included a little poem explaining that they’re magic pillowcases to help them have sweet dreams.  She’s sharing a free printable of the poem on her blog, plus she links to a tutorial she’s written for making a pillowcase, so you can start the tradition with your own kids.
