Some wasabi with your Hallowe'en candy?

For Hallowe'en this year, I dressed up for the first time since I was young. My sister gave me the costume idea and I had much help from a friend with a sewing machine.

Starting with one T-shirt (size XL, ladies), bought cheap from the Army and Navy. Cut off the sleeves and sew it into a pillowcase.


Stuff pillowcase and paint on white lines:


Attach with elastic straps and wrap with a dark green "belt" while wearing a white sweater:


Sushi! (specifically, salmon nigiri)


The costume wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be. Though a handful of people at the party immediately knew what I was, other guesses ranged from pincushion to ladybug. I had to provide clues such as "smaller" and "edible".

Next year: wasabi purse and giant chopsticks. More Hallowe'en party pics here.
