Just thought I’d share what I got done on the costumes this weekend…<\/p>\n

Sulley… <\/strong>
\nCutting and pinning the tail. Just prior to sewing time.
\n<\/p>\n

Bridget helping me stuff the sewn tail with batting.
\n<\/p>\n

The tail. All done and ready to attach to the body.
\n<\/p>\n

Dave trying things on. We also measured him for shoulder padding and padding inside the head. SOME of the padding was added and glued together.
\n<\/p>\n

Sulley so far. I don’t know if you can tell, but I revisited the hands… added nails and painted the vinyl turquoise to more closely match the fur. I also rounded out the teeth a little.
\n<\/p>\n

Shoe covers, stage I.
\n<\/p>\n

Mike… <\/strong>
\nDave helping me to shape the foam around the paper mache globe. Making it rounded is harder than it looks. Thank goodness for a talented engineering-minded husband!
\n<\/p>\n

Shaping and gluing the seams.
\n<\/p>\n

Projecting the face onto the foam shape so I can outline the location of the mouth and eye.
\n<\/p>\n

Traced. Also looking at the hard hat idea… perhaps a traditional sized hard hat is too small for his head though. SIGH!
\n<\/p>\n

I am still a bit behind though. I had hoped to get Sulley’s feet completely finished, and to touch up the paint job on his face… also this weekend. Still holding my breath that I’ll get done by Halloween.<\/p>\n

THANKS though to Emily who took Bridget to the Pumpkin Walk on Friday, so I could get stuff done. I owe you big time!<\/p>\n

I may try to update my progress once more before Halloween… we’ll see how it goes. Otherwise, hopefully all will get finished and you guys will be able to see the finished product soon!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
