Halloween Costume - Spider

Here is my little Spider.  no one really loves spiders but I love this one. I think this is one of my favorite costumes I have ever made.  And it was super simple to make.
I first purchased black sweats, gloves and beanie. With a Bean bag pattern.  I altered it to leave the bottom and top open. I made 6 long fabric tubes and sewed gloves to the end of each of them.To   Stuff them with stuffing.  Starting with the main body, a bean bag usually has 6 sections. I sewed 3 sections together and the second 3 sections together. Pin your arms into place leaving a 6 inch hole near the top of the sections for your kiddos arms. Stitch your 2 sections together.   On the top and bottom you need to make a casing.  Add your elastic.  I liked mine a little tight to make sure the pillows I added would not fall out.  To link the arms I wrapped black ribbon around each wrist and tied a knot.  Then made a loop for my son to have around his wrist.
When you are ready to trick or treat Just slip it over your kiddos head like a shirt and add pillows to fluff him up. I added a little makeup for the full effect.

Halloween Costume - Zombie

This is my husband  Zombie costume from last year.  His work decorates the entire building for all the employees kids to come through and collect candy.  Each Department picks a Theme.  Last year his department was plants vs. Zombies.  He was a Zombie. 

I apologize for the horrible picture.  I took it with my phone.  I forgot to use my real camera. Shame on me!!


I was pretty proud of him. He usually doesn't dress up. He even did the costume himself. So here is what he did.
Old suit, shirt and tie from the Goodwill.  The cheaper and uglier the better. 
Next he cut of one pant leg and ripped, hit with a hammer and rubbed the suit in some dirt.  
Voile you are finished.  We added a little black makeup under his eyes and he was the perfect Zombie.  Everyone at work loved it.  
This costume is super simple and quick on the go.  
The Masquerade Ball giveaway is still going on.  Please stop by to enter! Here

Costumes of Halloween Past–Pikachu


This is my little Pikachu.  My boys went through a Pokémon phase.  I think many boys do.  He begged for weeks for a Pikachu costume.  So I came up with this.

I used a costume pattern to give me the 1 piece outfit.  We made his zip down the back so you wouldn’t see the zipper.


Then I added Dark Brown Ric Rac across the back.  I cut a tail out of Peltex and fleece.  I sandwiched the peltex  in between the 2 pieces of fleece and stitched around the edge. I sewed  the tail onto the back of the costume. 


The hat used a basic winter hat pattern and I added the ears.  That was it.  He loved that costume.  He asked to wear it the next year.  But I think he was to tall.   He was toasty warm for trick or treating and as happy as can be.
