Last Wednesday my kids received a Halloween Costume Birthday Party invite. The party was for Saturday at 4. (Thanks for all the lead time Susan.) I was planning on making my children’s costume this past weekend but I also was planning on taking all weekend to make them. So much for taking my time…I made my patterns and bought material on Friday and with sewing help from my Mom on Saturday, they were done at ten til four. We were a bit late for the party but Blue and Quin were in costumes!
I love Halloween Costumes for my kids. I am not sure why. Maybe it is because my Mom always made me and my brothers great costumes. If that is the reason, it was fitting that she came over on Sat to help me sew. She was a life saver! I would not of got them done in time if it was not for her!
I think this years costumes might be my favorite. They will be hard to let go of after they are done with them.
Quin is a Pillow Pet and Blue is an Angry Bird.
I have to admit I am pretty proud of these home made costumes. Not bad for my first attempt. Especially considering I created my own patterns. I think I might have to do this every year. It was a lot of fun.
Now lets just hope Blue wins our church Halloween Costume Contest. Quin has placed twice and Blue is dieing to win. The Youth Group judges so let’s all keep our fingers crossed that the Angry Bird Costume will win this year!
