Theme: Hair | Become a Photo Hunter | View Blogroll
I didn’t think I had a picture for today’s theme other than various fuzzy bedhead pictures from when the kids were little, til I remembered this:
I was working at a fabric store and we were asked to dress up if we worked on Halloween. Though we as a family don’t “celebrate” Halloween, I didn’t feel there was any harm to dress up. And since we worked at fabric store — we were supposed to make something. So this is my Raggedy Ann outfit. I added red circle cheeks later.
I had to wing it to to make the “hair” by making a circle of white fabric, making a casing for elastic around the edge, and cutting a lot of red yarn, then sewing rows of yarn in circles around the white fabric. Then I added elastic to the casing.
It held up well through the years, even being tossed in the washing machine. All three of my kids had a “clown day” in elementary school, I think in K-5 or first grade, and they used the hair with the clown costume I made for them.

Thanks for the smile.. 🙂 These are great!
You’re quite skill at making costumes. Don’t think I could put something together that fast.
Have a great weekend1
what a great head of hair. My mom made one of these wigs when I was a clown as a kid 🙂
Great hair, Raggedy Anne. Worth all that trouble.
Great hair and great colour. Happy weekend.
Now that is some fun hair! Great memory, too, thanks for sharing!
Very cute pictures! You look nice with red hair 🙂 Great take on the theme.
Very fun shots! We have a great time at halloween. Btw, the smaller vases look great also.
Hahhaa..the second pic is so funny. Thx for brightening up my day. Today has been very stressful for me so far until i reached yr blog 🙂
Great costumes. It’s nice to know that something you can make lasts that long. If you bought it at the store it probably wouldn’t have survived the first night, much less the washer!!
Too cute!!!
Oh! I LOVE it! I had a Raggedy Ann when I was a girl. Your photos are great. 🙂
Oh that’s too much fun:) lol
Wow, Barbara. What cute photos! Thanks for sharing them. I love the first one and the second one cracks me up. LOL.
A beautiful Raggedy Ann! I love the other photo as well. 🙂

I adore raggedy ann. the wig is great.
ROFL… those are soooo good for todays theme.
Drop by my lair
to see my hair,
With time to spare,
others will be there.
That’s a great costume. I remember when I was young, my parents told me about Raggedy Ann and Andy and I have been fascinated with them. I think it’s great that your kids even had the chance to choose the wig you made.
This is for sure a true Story. We had one of those Raggedy Anne’s Floppy Mop Hairdo’s. Someone always wore it at Halloween. Happy Saturday.
That is too funny. I love it!
Great photos!
Raggedy Ann sure brought back memories!
Drop by and see my photo from the musical Hair!
Happy weekend

You did a great job on the costume. I espeically like the picture of the little clown.
Very cute costumes! It’s so great that you got a lot of use out of the wig after all that work!
Cute photos! 🙂 Great costume and terrific wig! You are a talented seamstress!
GREAT photos! I bet that was a fun day at work!
I love Raggedy Ann! Great photo.
Could have worked for the colorful week too. 🙂
I think that is so neat that you could make your own wig for the custom. I think the custom is too cute 🙂
Happy Saturday afternoon.
How adorable! I know about those costumes… I’ve made a dalmatian, killer bee, roaring 20’s flapper, cat, Miss Piggy, Snoopy, Unicorn, and an Arabian nights girl. Lots of dress up clothes as well.
Haha. A really great hair for the theme
love the costumes!
Great costume. Love the hair.
Oh, too cute. My mom has a photo of herself in a very similar Raggedy Ann getup!
