It took some time for us to decide what to be, for there was much to consider. Did we want to match? Did we not want to match? What does Olivia want to be? What do we want to be? Finally, we chose Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tinkerbell, as Olivia was just starting to really like Tink. We began with her costume, and after having researched the options, we hired a seamstress from the High Desert to construct the perfect (not cheesy or comprised of plastic pieces) costume. We bought a pattern, which bonded Ama, Emily, and Olivia together while cutting, pinning, and sewing at the kitchen table. We found Peter Pan his costume at a party store, and Wendy did some shopping at KOHL'S in the nightgown department for her ensemble (which we spruced up with some exaggerated fabric details and buttons). Thanks, Ama, for all your help and "teaching!" (Did we mention our secret sewing weapon can also sew up a mean table cloth or two?!)
