Anyone else sewing Halloween costumes?

    Anyone else sewing Halloween costumes?
    on: October 19, 2009, 09:35:59 PM
    I know, the rest of you are all done right?  Wink

    Come on, who else besides me hasn't started? I bought the fabric two weeks ago for my daughter's costume and I haven't started. Ugh. My son finally has his mind made up and I am trying to decide to buy or make. I will have to at least make his hat. I probably shouldn't put that off too long.

    Can we have an encouragement and sharing thread here? Anyone who has already finished costumes for this year post your photos here to motivate the rest of us to finish up!

        Cool! Can't wait to see your pictures.

         I just found out that the Pumpkin Party we are going to on Saturday is a dress-up party, yikes! I may only have one done by then, we'll see.

            I don't have a costume for myself, but I finished little J's!

            He's a BOO!berry

            It's a simple little pattern, and I have a tutorial here.

              This is so sweet!  And can easily be converted into a pumpkin, or cherry, or....any round fruit or veggie!!  Awesome!!  Thanks for sharing the tutorial! Smiley

                Here's one. Something happened to my camera and I only ended up with two shots of the party we went to on Saturday. I'll take more pictures on Halloween.

                    I admit I haven't started either.  I was hoping to just sit this one out but one of my former students wrote me yesterday and said how excited she was to see me and my baby on Friday.  I can't disappoint her--it would break my heart.  So I have some red lame that will be a nice superhero cape for my nearly 6 month old son, and since I've been sewing several purses lately, I thought I'd make a paper dress out of brown paper bags and call myself a bag lady.

                        Cute Leopard Kitty, random charm!

                        I love the bag lady idea, elizabeth. I also just got invited to a costume party, so maybe I'll borrow that idea!

                          Here is my son's costume. He challanged me with jih request. But it was a fun challenge. So far, it's gotten rave reviews at the few Halloween events we've attended.
