I've been hunting for a pic of the costume I made for my son in Kindergarten. He was the magic carpet from Aladdin. It turned out so cute. I fashioned it from 2 purple bath towels adorned with tassels and I think I made the scribing from felt. I've got to find that pic.
I'm in that sweet spot of having grown and not yet married kids. Some day I will get to do this again with grand babies. No hurry ;/
