Already got it, although given my limited knitting skills, I'd be more likely to applique stars on a dark blue sweater we already have.

Right now I am considering the pajamas. Laurel is down with orange polka dots and I have an orange solid I could stamp with fabric paint to make the dots. (I could do a custom print with Spoonflower, but that's pretty spendy for a one-shot costume.) Am a little confused because she has a dressing gown/bathrobe in the book, but that's par for me.

A-Kon is a three-day event so I'm thinking the pajamas for Friday afternoon/evening, maybe the starry sweater outfit for Saturday and the raincoat for Sunday. I already have a pair of yellow wellies that are about her size.

I'd guess they're 1.5" to 2" (this is based on looking at pictures of the doll), but the dots are maroon and white. I don't mind adding dots with fabric paint since this will be a costume she'll probably wear twice at most. Thanks for the offer, though!

Mmm, eQuilter. My mom orders from them so often that her billing information is on file there. I have a <1 yd remnant of Basic Polkadots Spots - Pastel in my stash left over from a sundress I made Laurel when she was a toddler.

Sadly, most of my polkadot fabric is white on a solid background; the only other multicolor dots I have are a multisize multicolor on white remnant from making clown costumes and some multicolor on blue (same print as this shift) that I bought just because it was on the dollar-a-yard table. I seem to have a problem with that dollar table, which is also where I found such winners as a cartoony skull fabric -- non-realistic, but also neither pirate nor one of the many awesome Alexander Henry skull prints.

Which reminds me! Kaufman did a dancing skeletons batik line that is OMFG cute. I got a cut of the multicolor skeletons on black for Christmas and can't bring myself to cut into it. I feel like Gollum with his preciousss.

(ETA link to the dancing skeletons fabric.)
