Costumes

Oh, how I love making costumes for Halloween.  My husband had the audacity to suggest we just buy them this year.  Pay $40 for nylon/polyester pieces of junk?  No way!  I can make a high quality masterpiece for much cheaper (that part is less then honest, I always have the goal to make them cheaper, but I always keep adding little details until the cost is not really a savings...Does anyone else who sews have this problem?  I always think I can make that for much less, but in the end I spend just as much, if not more, creating it myself.  The enjoyment of making it myself is worth it though...anyway). I wanted to show off our Halloween fun we had last night.  My camera is acting funny...boo...but my sister let me borrow hers for a photo op.  we don't have any pictures of the actual trick or treating stuff, but you get the idea.  I also decided to include last years costumes as well, because when you work that hard, for that long it feels good to show them off.  So it's a two for one today.  Two years of Halloween costume themes in one post.  May I present Little Red and her friends and the family circus.  Enjoy!
