Tomorrow is Halloween...

So I guess I will show the kids' costumes.
I have photos without them in the costumes....the ones with them actually wearing the costumes will come after trick-or-treating and such .


Maia is going to be Tinkerbell. I followed (and modified/customized) Simplicity pattern 0549. I did not make the wings included in the pattern. Instead, I made some from coat hangers, stockings, and fabric paint.




Sean is going as Peter Pan. For his costume, I bought an over-sized shirt and cut and sewed it to look like Peter Pan's top. The bottom is just a pair of green sweatpants (we didn't want him wearing tights...). The hat I made from crafting felt. The red feather on the hat is from a pack of crafting feathers we have. The belt is made from 3 stips of brown fabric that I sewed together and braided.





As for me, I just wanted something to wear because I have not dressed up for Halloween in awhile. I bought a t-shirt from WalMart that was a mock 'french maid' costume. I made a matching tutu.









I also made the kids some Halloween outfits. I let them pick out the fabrics for them. No patterns were used. Here they are:







Happy Halloween :)
