Mona is amazing. She made her costume almost completely unassisted this year. She did all the sewing on the machine including the zipper. She watched me do parts of Quinn's costume (since there were useful similarities) and then copied what I did where it worked, and came up with her own ideas where it didn't. The only thing I helped with was occasionally unjamming the sewing machine when it acted up, and I hand stitched on all the extra legs for her torso while she was at school to save her a little time.
Honestly, she did a much better job of creating a scorpion costume than I would have. Her attention to detail is impressive, and she did many things in a way I wouldn't have tried that worked beautifully.
