Boots the Monkey Costume a proposal

Posted By on September 28, 2006

Remember this costume?

[Just FYI the pattern number changed so it is Simplicity pattern # 4001 this year (2006)]

So here is the question. Would anyone be interested in buy one from me? I am still figuring out the price right now. I have to price out the fabric this year and then figure out how long it would take me to make one. But before I do that I want to know the interest level. This would be limited to the number I can make safely before Halloween and also limited to baby and toddler sizes at this time (So far I don’t know any school age kids that want to dress up as Boots much less adults but I could be wrong)

    Great idea! Thanks for posting.

  39. NAJ says:

    So just curious…now that Halloween is over…did you make any for these people?
    Seemed like so MANY were interested. I would like to inquire about one for a Christmas Pageant in a few weeks. (Long story short…we are doing a toyshop scene and want to have Dora, Diego, and Boots) But the child wearing is 7, so would that be an issue?
