Always a fun challenge! My costume this year might just be pulled from previous year’s bits and pieces. Wait, where is that witch’s hat? Did it blow off last year during that squall I hit while zooming around on my broom?
I went to a Halloween party, and the theme was “Person in a Music Video.” So, I went as Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders in the video for Brass in Pocket.
I sewed the dress, apron, and hair accessory. The wig was a hoot to style into a bouffant and French twist…my DH had to put it on while I pinned. I’ll have to get pictures from him later.
Congratulations @HeroicHatchling Your Baba Yaga’s House costume has won the Halloween Costume Challenge! And thank you to all of our participants for helping to make our site a fun and happy place!
