Well, Halloween crept up on me again and I am rushing to get the costumes finished, typical! One day I am going to stop saying, "Oh, I can make that" and just buy the darn things. Granted I am not making all four, so baby steps I suppose. Luckily my oldest, who is now thirteen took the reigns on her costume and I only had to help a little, which was awesome. Then on the opposite end of the spectrum in my two year old, who wants to be the Little Mermaid with the pink dress....pretty specific I thought! I had a Simplicity pattern that I am basing the dress on, and I just made a few modification to make it look a bit more like the Little Mermaid's dress from the movie.
In addition to the dress I also need to make a quick Jedi tunic...talk about last minute! At least that one doesn't have to be done before school, so I have a few more hours. I cannot wait to finish up with these costumes so that I can get back to my other sewing and also finally finish up a quilt I have been quilting for what seems like ages! Until Friday....

I hope everyone is enjoying their homemade costumes, they really are the best!
