Every five years, my daughter decides that she needs a costume that cannot be bought or simply put together. This time, she wanted to be Zaboo, a sifaka lemur. So I went to the fabric store and found this, and got permission with modifications to use two soft furs to recreate the beloved beast.
So I cut out the pieces and the entire room was covered in fine fur. I added to my skills by reading the manual for my zipper foot.
I made a few mistakes, most late at night and a waste of time, but fixable.
In the end, she was happy and warm. I even managed to suspend the tail in the manner of a wedding train with a button when the coat hanger and stuffing failed.
I wonder what her next idea will be?

| The first pattern I have bought and cut out for decades! |
 |
| Pieces cut out and ready to sew |
 |
| Fuzz everywhere! |
 |
| Coming together |
 |
| When I knew it was getting late! I sewed the ears together! I should have stopped there, but I proceded to rip the seams apart, only to discover that it was of the part I had done properly! The next day, it came together quite easily, and no further errors! |

| My first zipper! |

| The final costume, mitts and gaiters included! |
