Time to show off some Halloween costumes. The kids had Orange and Black day yesterday:
and then Halloween Costumes for school this morning:
Liam, and since he is a teenager, the joke about this is 'hey, I'm your local dealer'. Not very appropriate, but on the other hand, kinda funny.
Vest is the version by Carla, just upsized, and I made the Bow Tie too.
And now for Tyler, you may remember, that this is what we were trying to replicate:
And this is what we came up with:
Leggings from the Sewing Clothes Kids love book, blouse the portrait peasant, the tunic is a REALLY modified bowling shirt.
Super cute costumes!
I just wanted to tell all of you how inspiring you are. Not only in your sewing skills, but also in how much you give to others through your Big Give. You inspired me to get the Easy Fit Pants and do them all by myself without any help! (I sound like my 2 year old when I say that) You also inspired me to join a big give as well! So thank you and here is a pic of the pants I made my daughter. They are pirate themed pants and she is just wearing them as pajamas, but they are her new favorites!! Thanks! Also where do I find the simply sweet pattern?
Erica
You did a great job and looks like she loves them. Keep it up....
Here is my outfit for Joey's Big Give - for his sister Shaelyn
I altered the back of the Emma Swing Top using Stephres tutorial:
And just because she is so cute - here is Chloe our 11 week old Golden pup - who almost pulled my sewing machine into the floor while I was in the next room pressing seams open!
This outfit is adorable. I love that swing top.
And the puppy just makes me smile!
so the first time i saw the tim burtons "Alice in Wonderland" i fell in love with all the costumes. but by far my fav was the red white and black dress that alice wore as "Um" in the red queens court. I vowed to make my dd a kid version of this dress for halloween and here it is...
Cute idea. She is a doll.
Thanks to everyone who has made a similar dress before me, because I think I CASED a little from everyone on this one. So I think of it as FRANKENCASING.
Also thanks to Heather for the awesome filmstrip design!! Not sure how you came up with the idea for this one, but I absolutely love it!
I am very pleased with how this came out for DGD for our upcoming 4th b-day Disney trip in December.
Ellen - just fantastic!!!! That's all I can say!
I just finished up a set for Joey's big give for his sister. I made her a tee and a knit twirl skirt with vintage Disney patches. I scanned some vintage Disney scrapbook stickers I bought at the park a few years ago, printed them onto to transfer paper and then ironed them on to white knit. Then I put wonder under on the back of the knit and cut them out. Ironed them to the skirt and then straight stitched the edges. It turned out so cute. I'm doing a similar one for dd and ds.
Cute, cute, cute!
Thanks for the links to the different sites everyone!
I did find an adorable Nativity design that I'll put on a shirt to wear to Sunday School !!!!! I already bought it, but I just realized, I DONT KNOW IF IT WILL FIT MY 5x7 Hoop!!!! UGH!!!!

I'd love to find a free lip balm holder for in the hoop now that I know they exist!!!lol!!!
Happy Halloween!! Have fun trick or treating - and be safe!!
From the dimensions, it looks like it should fit! I don't think you need to worry.
I have really enjoyed looking through this thread (for hours! ) and seeing all the great creations everyone has made. We just got home from Disney last week, so I thought I'd share a couple pics of what I made. I didn't have the kids model anything beforehand, so everything is action shots.
Thanks for letting me share! I can't wait to get started on next year's outfits!
Great job on everything....looks like everyone is enjoying their customs.
Pictures finally.
Here is Megan as Sleeping Beauty tonight for Halloween. She had a blast. She's worn it part of the last 3 days (Halloween Party Friday night at school, Halloween Party at the Zoo Saturday and Tonight for trick-or-treating)
Alice's Coordinating Dress
I love the smiley face detail on the trim. It is just so whimiscal and Wonderland like.
And here is the dress on my Alice
I am over my limit on pics here but I just had to say they all look adorable...you did a great job but my favorite is the Alice dress (I am a sucker for anything "Alice").
