So, sewing was OUT of the question, to continue the story from Wednesday, but in my former life before I became da Mama to da Creature, I did a fair amount of costume design, so making a Lorax wasn't really a problem, except....
His sensory nuttiness. A mustache? Out of the question. Eyebrows? Glued on? Out of the question. Wear an orange bag, ties drawn in at his thighs? Out of the question.
What to do then? Make a mustache on a stick, and eyebrows on a head band. Make his "orange bag" body out of a pillow case, and have it all removable, discardable, breakable, and rippable.
The mustache and eyebrows are a deconstructed flower from Walmart. The rest is just the pillow case and an orange t-shirt. The insufferable know-it-all character was provided by da Creature. Type casting, much? *laugh track now*
Great Job Mom!!!!!
