Halloween Sewing

[Claudine]

What is everyone sewing for Halloween this year? 

My younger dd wants to be Elastica from Zevo-3.  Don't worry, pretty much no one else has ever heard of this series, either.  The costume should be easy enough, although I would not look forward to making the yellow gloves.  I'm hoping to find some that I can buy.l

They yellow gloves look like Platex household cleaning gloves - like you'd use to wash dishes.  Just sayin'

Light bulb!  Thanks!  Hmm, I'll have to find them in a teeny tiny size.

My older daughter wants to be Ava the Sunset Fairy.  I'm looking forward to the dyeing and painting involved.

A Bedazzler too!

I bet both costumes are keeping you quite busy.  How fun!  I look forward to seeing the results.  I used to spend much of October making costumes and I have to say, I am enjoying the break.

I bought a Bat Girl costume for £10, including cape and mask.  Child cries when forced to go out without it.  Mother pleased.

You are far more sensible than I am.

I haven't even started yet!  I'm making an angel Costume for my 7 year old.  I bought a superman costume for my super baby as we fondly call him.

I am loving the wig - it is too cute!!

I finished both costumes, but I only have photos of Elastica.  In my town, trick-or-treat was moved to this Friday the 4th because of the storm, so my older daughter has not worn her costume yet.   Elastica attended a Halloween party last Friday, so I have photos of her.

Here is a blog post about Elastica:

She's quite the super hero - Elastica IS a superhero, right?  The costume turned out very cute and she looks like she's having a ball wearing it.  Go-go Power Rangers!  Oops, wrong hero.

Yes, BeeBee, Elastica is a superhero.  A super-mutant, actually. 

We finally had trick-or-treating.  My daughter was so excited that it was very difficult to get her to stand still for a picture, but I managed to get a couple of pics of Ava the Sunset Fairy.  The blog post is here:
