To make this costume I took … Read more
This crayon group costume was by far one of my faves and was simple! Must have a sewing machine to be able to sew it around. We went to Hobby Lobby and bought just regular material then sewed the bottom and top to make it shorter. Then we printed off the crayola and copied it … Read more
Collecting the clothes fir this original WWII Comic Book Pop Art couple costume was the hardest part of this endeavor…at least for me.

As I was trying to come up with costume ideas, I thought about how everyone wants to see the Mona Lisa in far away France. Why not give everyone here an opportunity?! My friend works at a museum and so she got me a box that they use to ship large paintings. I cut the … Read more
After too many years of the same tired ‘ole remakes and trashy costumes everywhere, I decided to liven things up a bit!
