I have found some great costume ideas using sweatpants.  I took a pair of orange sweatpants and and sweatshirt and turned my son into a pumpkin.  Using sticky back fun foam I cut out the shapes for a pumpkin face and added "eye" to the triangles with fabric paint.  Then I put the shirt on Bryan and attached the fun foam to the correct location.  He has red hair that almost looks orange so I bought an orange winter cap and attached leaves and a stem to the top with safety pins.  The nice thing was after he was done he had hunting clothes to wear with Dad.  A multi purpose costume. -- Sue from NE
