Happy Halloween Costumes!

Happy Halloween!

In an earlier post we showed how we made our skirts.  A few days ago we made our shirts.  And today we put our costumes all together!

For Angel's pirate shirt, we found a cute skull and crossbones to copy and cut out.  Then we pinned it onto some white flannel and cut it out.

Then we pinned it to a black shirt and sewed it on.

For Shelli's Lilo shirt, we found an Hawaiian leaf to cut out of three different colored flannel.

Then we sewed it onto a pink shirt.

Today we put it all together.

Angel had her pirate shirt, skirt and some black and white leggings.  She wore her tall boots and put on a red handkerchief over her hair.  She looks great!

Shelli put on her Lilo leaf shirt, some orange leggings, her cute skirt, flower sandals, a pink lei, and held the Stitch they just got from Disneyland.

A few days ago, Angel and Shelli made me a witch's hat. 

I wanted to be a witch but couldn't find a hat I liked so they made me one!  They are so thoughtful!

The witch is all set for tonight!!

Working on Halloween Costumes

This week, we worked on our Halloween costumes. 

Angel wants to be a pirate and Shelli wants to be Lilo from Disney's Lilo and Stitch.

We decided to make pretty tulle skirts.

Shelli's Lilo skirt is yellow, orange and pink. 

First we sewed a piece of elastic into a circle and then I showed Shelli how to tie on the tulle.

Angel's Pirate skirt is black, red, and sparkly white.  I didn't take pictures of her making her skirt but she did a great job too!

Now we just need to finish the skull and cross bones for Angel's shirt and big Hawaiian flowers for Shelli's shirt!  We are almost ready!
