Well, Thanksgiving is NEXT WEEK! That means Christmas is practically here and I’m always scrambling last minute to find something suitable for nativity costumes (for church pageants, extended family parties, immediate family re-enactments…) So I figured it out – a cheap and easy Christmas shepherd costume we can use from now until the end of time.

I asked my son’s kindergarten teacher if there was anything I could sew for the classroom, as that’s my specialty, and she said she would love to have a Goldilocks pinafore for the “Bear’s Cottage” rotation.

Fact is folks, you need yourself some suspenders. Am I right?!? So make some already! It’ll only take you 30 minutes. Ish. Here’s what you’ll need: 1/4 yard […]
