Halloween Costumes!

This year I ventured to make the kids Halloween Costumes. Emma wanted to be a mermaid. I had to get a pattern for her costume. It was not necessarily hard but there was a lot to it and it took a good amount of time to make. For the time and money that went into it it was not worth it for me. Emma loved it and wore it to the trunk or treat but then wanted to wear her Snow White Dress trick-or-treating. It would have been cheaper to buy a mermaid costume that she would have liked just the same. I will remember that for next year...

Emma ALWAYS makes a princess or funny pose in pictures.  I love it.

Eli's Pinocchio costume was my favorite to make! It was super easy and quick. I used some of the instructions of this website.

Eli LOVED trunk-or-treating and trick-or-treating.  It took him all but 5 seconds to catch on to what to do and there was no stopping him. 

Luke and I were Princess Leia and Han Solo.  Thanks to my sister for letting us borrow her wonderful costumes!

I have been really busy this year and have not had a lot of time for sewing.  However, when I sewed the kids costumes it made me realize how much I LOVE to sew!  I am committed to doing more sewing projects so stay tuned for those!
