My inspiration comes from those around me.. and people around me like Candycorns... I don't see the appeal :P
This was actually made last year for a newborn that a friend was welcoming into the family. This bootie/cap set is designed for a newborn (Cap's circumference is 16.5 inches, Booties length is 3.5 inches) To those who have a little one who is celebrating their first Halloween this year, this is the perfect seasonal project. Enjoy :)
