I am sure! A lot of the kids wanted Cousin Eddie outfits for Halloween this year as well! Basically, the hat, a bathroom, boots, and some dryer ducting to look like an RV sewage hose!

My dad always wore a black lamb Russian hat in winter. He spent a few harsh winters on the Russian border during the Cold War gathering information… :wink:

This was part of what I worked on today. One of the old dog steps in our house. The cover is worn thin in the parts that cover the tops of the steps. They are not available anymore, and I like to fix things if I can, before buying new anyway.

I have a large package of acrylic felt squares (a MIL mystery purchase) that I cut to fit those areas. I put them on the underside and stitched in place. Definitely not pretty, but functional.

Then I replaced the stretched out elastic with some from stash.

Here is the final result. Hopefully this will last a while longer. At some point I know I will just have to make a whole new cover, but that is for another time.

Thanks. Our old little pup needs these to get up on the beds, so I like to keep them soft for his paws.
