Halloween Costumes

I LOVE the silver bug thingy. That was cool!

i am soooo loving looking at all the halloween photos! this year, DS (21 months) went as a clown-my mom helped me by making his costume, as well as one for the dog , and my daughter decided at the last minute, rather than have me sew her a costume, to recycle her cape from last year's witch's costume and be a vampire. still, got lots of ooohs and ahhhs over the cape (really fun metallic fabric from joann's....)

Thanks for sharing! I love the silver thing. How did you do the second set of arms? Or was there someone inside?

No, but quite a lot of people thought that it was his little brother, probably because his brother was hidden behind a black mask as death. It was just another set of sleeves, which I stuffed and sewed into the side seam. They were atached to his real sleves by subtle use of DH's fishing line purloined while he was away !

He nearly won best boys costume but aparently missed out as one of the judges thought he had already won last year! Not true but there you go, lots and lots of people kept coming up and saying you realy should have won, flattering but annoying after 20 people have told you the same thing. Claire

What great fun!!! The silver one looks like Syd from "Monsters Inc." One of our favorite movies, BTW.

Fabulous job, Claire. They are both just great. Thanks for posting them. :)
