Up To My Ears In Felt & Hot Glue

It took all morning...
but I'm done.
Finished.
Complete.
No more nagging from the kids.

The Halloween costumes are ready!

After spotting a great deal on a leather jacket
for Ben,
I thought turning the whole crew into kids
from the 50's would be fun.

(plus it's likely the last time I can force them into what I want them to dress up as)

Thankfully my mom has sewed a poodle skirt for a niece and
offered to mail it to us.
So with that as a template I made up a quick version of it,
without the zipper and opting for the easier waistband,
ELASTIC!

This miniature skirt is Keira's.
Complete with "bling" for the poodle.

Emma picked out the "pink" dog with
the glittery leash for everyone to use.


She as a little disappointed that they didn't
have bolts of pink and purple felt to chose from,
but quickly settled for a brighter version of pink.


This is the skirt my niece wore.
Being the tallest Sydney is proud to
don a hand-me-down.


But I couldn't let it be...
so I took off the leash
and bow my mom had made
and added one just like the other skirts!

I can't wait for the 31st!!

I love it! Changing the leash doesn't bother me because Kayleigh created it. I only sewed the skirt! You's are very creative Rae! Love, MOM

So cute! I'm still in process of making my last costume for the kids. Hopefully I'll get it done on time.
