This time last year was busy with a bunch of Halloween events. Because I've gone to work, and my little Bug has started school, there hasn't been as much time.
I've started on her Halloween costume today. She decided to be a bat. I am more that happy to make her costume every year. My fashion professor should be proud.
I created the wings by marking around a small plate. Then I stitch binding around it all for a nice finished edge while also stitching ribbons into the edge to tie around her neck (sounds awful!) and arms.
I've only just finished one part of her costume today - the wings. Tomorrow I'll figure out a way to make her ears.
To complete her costume, she'll wear a black shirt and leggings. I was thinking of adding some fun details for her wings but I'll let her decide.
ETA: The ears are done!
And here are her previous costumes...

Love your meal plan! Glad to see we aren't the only family with "fend for yourself" night and breakfast for dinner. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think it's essential that we have a day when we take care of ourself. That happens to be the day I work a late shift so I leave it up to the husband. Sometimes I plan something too though. Like next week I think I have a slow cooker meal planned for that day.
DeleteYou are so stinkin' creative! Those costumes are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! They're really very simple to do. And Pinterest helps too! ;)
