Handmade Halloweens Past

It's that time again to plan Halloween costumes for this year.  I never make all three of the kid's costumes. We do a blend of homemade and store bought so Mommy doesn't tear her hair out.  I choose based on what each girl wants to be.  The harder costumes get store bought.  Yes, it's all about my sanity!   Here are some glimpses of Handmade Halloweens Past.     2006 I made this costume for Ella. A sweet angel.  

    2007 Eva was Eva Las Vegas. My favorite ever.   I sewed it, bejeweled it, styled her hair. It was awesome.  

    2008  Eva was a Woodland Sprite. I added leaves to a Flower Girl dress I had sewn for a Summer wedding she was in and made a crown

    2009 Evangeline was obsessed with Toy Story 2 that year. I made this costume of Jessie, the Yodeling Cowgirl.  I loved how it turned out.

  2012 This year both Ella and Evangeline wanted store bought monarch butterfly costumes, but I am homemaking a costume for Bianca. She will be Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba, her favorite obsession.  I have already purchased pink leggings and a long sleeved match pink long sleeved shirt. Today I am heading to JoAnn Fabrics to get some pink fleece, interfacing and velcro. I am winging this...Wish me luck!

  Do you MAKE or BUY your kid's costumes?
