A Few Sneak Peaks
I am in full swing Halloween costume mode. And holy smokes it is turning out so much better than I expected! I think I’ll finish Creamie’s costume by Friday, that’s the master plan anyway. We’ll see how it goes. I didn’t really think through the whole thing in the beginning. If I had I probably would have designed a pattern that didn’t require me to cut out 64 separate pieces. So far. So, besdies all those little beensy pieces, her costume has required
Five new spools of thread.
A lot of pinning of a lot of small pieces. Like, an awul lot.
And seventy yards of sequins. Well, I bought seventy yards… I haven’t used them all yet. Key word, yet. I have a feeling a lot of late nights are in my near future. But it is going to be so worth it. I can’t wait to show you her costume, and then, hopefully, mine!

Pink,
you are SEW awesome! I LOVE the colors and am marveling at the crazy amount of work you’re putting into this. You get the super mom of the decade award.

P.S. I haven’t made my kids costumes in a couple of years, but I just bought fabric last night. Wish me luck. I have too much to sew in the next six days.
Lycra? Sequins? You rock.
Oh I can’t wait either!
I got the stuff for S’ costume on Monday. I’m a bit scared. I sew with quilting patterns… not sewing patterns!
I am really excited to see little Miss Creamie in this!
I can’t wait to see the finished costume! I love all those colors and ooh, sequins!!!
Can’t wait to see how it comes out–looks amazing already–LOVE the colors–so bright and beautiful. 🙂
Late nights in the near future? Secret: Erika is at 1,298 consecutive late nights and counting.
My mom always said to never sew when you are tired. Apparently, Erika would never understand this because it is impossible for her to be tired while sewing. No caffeine required.
