Halloweenie

I don't usually like to do posts like this, but I'm really pleased with how my halloween costumes turned out. I know I shouldn't be so impressed with myself, what with actually being able to sew and all... but I am! I got my sewing machine fixed, so I was all excited and agreed to make 4 halloween costumes. I don't subscribe to this being scary on halloween lark. I don't think there's enough selection of scary things to be. I take an american/mean girls approach and just dress up as what I want. This year I was a Pocahontas mostly because I wanted a feather headband, which I think is a great accessory.

I made my friend Hannah a bat, because she wanted something sparkly, that involved wearing disco pants.

And I did the bf a Dr Horrible costume, which no one else got what it was, which disappointed him. I was pretty pleased with the lab coat, especially as I had to draft my own pattern and I don't really do much menswear. (a lack of bust darts threw me...)

But everyone knows the best thing about halloween is... ITS NEARLY CHRISTMAS!
