My daughter was pleased to become the new independent Bo Peep.  She loved that Bo’s skirt became a cape, and that underneath, she wore a pantsuit.  It took me many tries to design a pantsuit that mimics Bo Peep and fit my daughter.  Her skirt/cape is cotton and felt on the white and pink side, and satin on the purple side.  The flower on top of the skirt/cape is made of a giant shrinky dink.  The shepherd’s hook was one of the few items I purchased from a costume shop, which I painted blue.  I wrapped the top of the hook with tile backer rod, which I painted silver.  My dog, Linus, became Bo Peep’s sheep.  I designed his costume by creating 2 sheep stuffed animals and attaching them to a sheep “jacket” in the middle.  Watching Linus walk around in this costume was pretty funny.  He did not realize his new size/width, and kept bumping into things!
