Halloween Costumes In Progress I

I am working on our Halloween costumes. This is great for me (or us) because D and I usually know what we want to be for Halloween but don't start to put the costumes together until about three days before we need them. So, to be doing this so early is exciting. N wants to be the Cat in the Hat. I have his costume done. D and I are going to be Thing One and Thing Two. L is going to be the fish....if I can figure out how to make him look like a fish that is. So here's N is most of his costume. I have black sweat pants and white gloves to complete the outfit. I bought the black shirt. I tied the red bow out of three inch satin ribbon. I cut white felt into the shape of the tummy. I sewed the red bow to the white felt then attached the white tummy to the black shirt using the adhesive backing that's already on the white felt. I also secured the white tummy/bow to the shirt with a few sections of stitching for good measure. I bought the hat at a local costume store. I'm still debating on attaching a tail to the pants. I think people will know who he is w/o the tail so I may exclude it. We'll see... Now I'm off to work on "Thing One" and "Thing Two." I'm keeping these very simple. I bought two red t-shirts at Micheal's (they are two for $5 right now). I purchased two pieces of white adhesive backed felt and a black fabric pen. I'm going to make to big circles out of the felt. I'll write "Thing One" one one and "Thing Two" on the other using the black fabric marker. I will secure the circles to the shirts using the self adhesive backs and a few sections of stitching the same way I did for N's costume.
