My birthday is November 1st. Therefore, every year, Halloween is a big deal because at midnight it’s my birthday. My poor significant other is forced to dress up along side with me. However, he does believe that if he HAS to dress up, he better look good. Every year, I purchase a cute costume (so … Read more
Little Red In my hunt for materials for our Little Dead Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf Couple Costume, I had called my mom a half a dozen time frantically asking if she had found a knee length cape. Her response was, “oh Sarah, I don’t know anyone who loves Halloween as much as you do”. … Read more
My two best friends and I decided it would be clever/fun to dress up as the three blind mice! We bought over sized grey t-shirts from the t-shirt factory, cut them, tied the sides, and made them into dresses. We were able to find a “blind as a bat” kit at a Halloween store which included and blind stick … Read more
I wanted to do something fun but sexy. I just had a baby a year ago and never really stepped out of my comfort zone. I didn’t have a boyfriend to go as Adam, so I was a single Eve. I guess he was still mad at me for picking the fruit! I liked it … Read more
We all some what resemble a Disney princess so we decided we HAD to do it. Most of our costumes were things that we already had. So we spent ultimately nothing! But don’t get me wrong, it was difficult to dig through old things that matched up perfectly with the costume. At our Halloween party people pretty … Read more
This Goldilocks Gone Bad and her “Papa Bear” Couple Costume was just something fun my husband and I threw together for a Halloween party we had at our apartment one year. It is supposed to be an adult themed Goldilocks and her “papa bear”. Goldilocks was pretty easy to do, I just had to throw my hair in some … Read more
Adam and Eve couple costume, easiest costume I’ve made! All we did was bought leaves from Hobby Lobby, but it was the leaves off the branch so we had to cut the leaves individually. Then get a pair of boy shorts and strapless bra for the top and boxers for the male. The next step to … Read more
I was 8 months pregnant and discussing costume ideas with my 3 year old daughter, hoping to make something for myself that would work with whatever she wanted to be. I had been knitting a red riding hood for months (from a pattern out of “Fairy Tale Knits”), and she told me she wanted to … Read more
As soon as I saw Snow White and the Huntsman in theaters this year, I knew I wanted to make Snow White’s dress! I found photos online of Colleen Atwood’s costume designs for the movie and mentally deconstructed them. I started by draping some cotton jersey on my dressform for the underdress lining. I used … Read more
We had a carnival at church this year and I was assigned the Noah’s Ark Station. Of course, a Noah costume was way to boring and common so I thought I would do the Ark itself. I found the perfect skirt for the water at Goodwill and sewed foam fish on it. I made my … Read more
This is how I made my homemade Dopey the Dwarf costume from Snow White: Shirt: Took my green Snuggie®, flipped it backwards and sewed the front to make Dopey’s over sized shirt/tunic type thing (I used sticky sided yellow felt to make the two large buttons and sticky sided brown felt to make his elbow patches). … Read more
As with most schools today students can not dress up to celebrate Halloween. My son’s school offers “Dress like a book character day” for the kids to celebrate “Fall Festival day.” The rules are that they can’t be super heroes or princesses and they have to bring the book of their costume to school with … Read more
