Halloween Costume Challenge 2021

Same - I love being able to say I made the costume, but there is usually a moment about half way through where I look around and think, ‘whose idea was this?!’

Same! This year the daughter and husband have inflatable dinosaur costumes. I made a T-Rex skeleton costume for my son and a Pteranodon skeleton costume for myself, so they all still go together. I love saying I made the costumes too, but dang skippy, making those skeletons was hard! I had to make up the pattern myself. And we aren’t even going anywhere for Halloween. Aside from you fine folks no one will see all the hard work. But it made the kids happy, so worth it. I remember one year my daughter wanted my husband to be an owl for Halloween, and I was pregnant sitting on the floor fabric gluing thousands of feathers to his wings wondering why I hadn’t just bought something. Every year has those moments, but the sheer joy the costumes bring the kids make it all worth it. At least they still wear the lab coats I made them last year regularly.

I draw the line at sequins. I hate sewing them. I admire you doing sequins and satin and tulle, I couldn’t handle that. And dinosaurs are way more complicated than they look like they should be!

Ooh I have a costume to enter this year. Nothing crazy elaborate but I had fun making it during the great Quar.

I’m not sure if the costume i made counts as “hand made” enough. It is a black cat for which i knitted the tail and hand-sewed it onto bike shorts we already had and a knitted hat with crochet accents. But she wore a black regular shirt and pants with it.
