Ya'll know I love me some costumes. I LOVE ME SOME COSTUMES. When I saw this challenge I was super excited...and then super bummed. I don't start Halloween costumes until the first week of October as a rule. My kids change their minds, have growth spurts and whatever else that would end up making starting any sooner a complete waste of time. I do have my plans. And they are super exciting. But I'm just not starting quite yet. With that said, I have PLENTY to share from Halloweens past and my link-up is from my most favorite and most recent costume, THE DRAGON.
This was the costume I made my son last year and is BY FAR my most favorite costume to date. I put a million hours into it and just plain kicked ass. You can read all about the details HERE and there's more pics, too!
That same year, I made a Snow White for my girl. I went a bit renaissance because Snow White has such a simple dress and I wanted to add some flair...I always love a little flair. You can read about that one HERE.
Now I'm going to take you on a trip down memory lane since this is a costume post and I'm gonna give you costumes. Hold on tight, we're headed to 2014.
Everyone loves a little Elsa and Brawn-na ;) Post available HERE
That same year, I made a few more costumes for a few more things. Different blog posts here and there that made me free to get a bit theatrical.

If you can't tell who they are, then I didn't do my job :)
In 2013, I paired up my little cuties as one of the best Disney Duos there is, in my opinion.
OFF, with their heads!
And for their very first time as a Halloween Pair, they rocked it as characters from one of my favorite 80's cartoons ever. I was new to sewing and wasn't blogging then, so I don't have details,but I DO have pictures (not very good ones, but eh)! I hope you get sucker punched by nostalgia.
I even had time that year to make a little something for myself!
I hope you've enjoyed this little costume post and I hope you've been inspired, yourself! If you're sewing along as well, I truly can't wait to see what you've come up with. As for me, I'll be working on 2016's costumes in a few weeks.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these costumes are all fabulously great! The costumes I love best are ones I'm shipping off to Japan for my daughter's family so I totally get the a little too early this year.
