Fuzzy Brown Robe with Wolf Embroidery
My dad recently asked me to make him a druid robe, just in time for Halloween. He didn’t want anything complicated, so I opted for Simplicity 1582. I made version B, the hooded version for him. It’s really the simplest of patterns. The stitch line between the yoke and body is actually straight so I…

Tinkerbell Wings
This post is about how I made the Tinkerbell wings for the dog costume. I wanted to try making wings for myself, but figured dog wings were a good place to start. These were inspired by a pair of wings from Fancy Fairy Wings & Things. Her wings are gorgeous and if you want wings, I…

Tinkerbell and Peter Pan Dog Costumes
This is a hard post for me to write which is why it’s taken so long given these costumes were made a while ago. Last year my little Tinkerbell traded her fairy wings for angel wings. I miss her every day and looking at these photos makes me both happy and sad, but I’d rather…

Child’s 2016 Cinderella Inspired Costume
For Halloween of 2017 (I know, I know, some of these posts are WAY overdue), my cousin’s daughter wanted to be Cinderella. Who was I to say no? Also, I was pretty psyched to make her an awesome costume. One of my favorite parts is the back (above). I love the giant bow although it’s…

Pokemon Weepinbell Halloween Costume
As we get closer to Halloween, I’ve got some costume related posts. The first is this Weepinbell Pokemon costume that I made for a group Pokemon costume at work. We decided on Pokemon because there was variety for people to pick something they liked and they could go as complicated as they wanted or just…

More Halloween Fun
Some more decoration for Halloween. I worked on a Halloween quilt this year (more details on that in another post). And using the leftover fabric, I decided to make a little festive table decoration. The overall design was pretty simple. Just laid out the squares and sewed them together. After doing so, it wasn’t quite…

Happy Halloween from Robin Hood and Maid Marian!
Are these not the most adorable Robin Hood and Maid Marian you’ve ever seen?? This is actually their costume from last year, but since I never had a chance to post it, I figured this Halloween is as good as any :). In case you can’t tell, they’re supposed to be Robin Hood and Maid…

Halloween One Hour Baskets
I had been seeing all over Instagram references to the “one hour basket.” Various posts of cute little fabric boxes or baskets that were tagged with #onehourbasket or #hourbasket. Finally I found the source. The one hour basket is a free pattern available on Craftsy. You can get it here! It’s put out by Hearts and…

The Dog Witch
As you saw earlier, I made a witch costume for my pup. It was loosely based off of Butterick 4885. Basically I used the pattern for the base. I shortened the length and added the skirt which was just two layered ruffles. I also added a ruffle at the neckline instead of the collar. Finally,…

Happy Halloween!
This year for Halloween, my little fur girl was a witch. It was a quick costume I tossed together in about 3 hours including the time it took to go to the store and buy the fabric. About 2 hours of that was real sewing. She really looked quite adorable in it despite the fact…
