Sewing marathon finish line

After many MANY late nights, I can now post the pics of the Halloween costumes. I made Melanie's costume, Isabella's hat, and Isabella's cape. Mary made Isabella's dress.

Damn, my kids are cute.

Here is the spooky ghost -


And the scary witch -



And now this sleep deprived momma can collapse!

Love, Sewing, and Halloween (Year 2)

It's October, which means I'm sewing 2 kids costumes like mad. Last year I only sewed Isabella's costume, and barely made it to the finish line. This year, I'm struggling just as much. My grand discovery is that when you only sew once a year (for Halloween), your sewing skills remain incredibly poor. Shocking, I know.

Anyway, wish me luck! And now back to the sewing table...
