Yes dear they did....1st and 2nd both positions were taken by my octopus and shark respectively :)
Thank you for appreciating!
109046Lovely costumes....this takes a lot of patience and a difficult task too. Well I have to wait for grandkids to come along to try making these. Good idea...Thanks.

Thats not to worry dear...The kids face openings in the mouth of the shark and also right in the middle of the octopus body theres a slit:)
I obviously had to do this because firstly they need to breath;) and secondly they had to speak about their creatures too!
Thanks for observing and wondering:)
P.s...my boy was so excited with it that he very comfortably spent the whole morning in that suite and I was shocked to see him still wearing it when he returned home! Hahaha:)
2753Well I commented on the post that was removed so I will say again. These are amazing. I am having trouble starting costumes for my grandchildren and i HAVE patterns. Well done. The detailing is absolutely perfect. Becky in Arkansas

Yeah luckily they were an attraction for all at school:)
Thanks for appreciating!
530You did an amazing job, first in thinking up what to make, then designing and making the costumes. I am in awe of your amazing talent.
2023Awesome job on both...hard to believe you were able to do these with no pattern and no costume experience...I can see why you won!
3140376058Brilliant. it is amazing that when we become parents that we end up saying yes to all sorts of things - jut like this. We have no ideas at all but just have a go. Look like you have a great future as a designer and maker of carnival costumes and the like. I see from reading further down that they won first prize. Congratulations. Lastly the costumes look as if they are made from velvet which is not the easiest of fabrics to work with so well done

Thank you so much.....Yes you are right...they are made of velvet...all of it!:)
Very well said of how we are always ready for challenges as parents. ..the little ones deserve the best!:)
I just happen to remember last years project I had done for them. ..will post that too soon!!:)
114375Fantastic costumes! You really did an excellent job on both of them. Hard to believe that you had not pattern and had only three days to complete them- they really look professional! Congratulations on a job well done. They are both awesome but my favorite is the octopus with its long arms dangling! I am truly impressed!

64451To have made these 2 costumes without patterns and without costume making experience and then both in 3 days you really have done an exceptional job. The win was very well deserved! Hopefully next year you will get a bit more time than just 3 days. You have also probably opened the eyes of school personnel as to who they need to call when they may need a project completed. AWESOME job!
8217Great job. These look like they were done by a pro!
158553I agree, WOW! Fantastic job on both costumes. I just love the octopus with its many arms. Congrats to you and to them for the winning costumes.
168905All I can say is WOW, Wow, and Wow!!!! No - I am speechless! Fantastic work. Take a bow.
