Day of the Dead Costume

 This is another Halloween costume I wore for a Halloween party 2022.

Queen Ghost Costume

 I have more pictures but this was my costume for Halloween 2022.

Quilting Templates for beginner quilters

 

I thought of buying one of these to do some quilting. I made quilts but I never free motion quilted. I would like to do that since it makes a quilt look so pretty. I don't know what designs to do so I thought this would be better.

 Quilting Digest

I haven't bought it yet but I think I will. 

Here's a short video on how to use it.

You also have to buy a special foot for it too.

I'll let you know how it goes

Skeleton Clown(Day of the Dead) Halloween Costume

 

I have more pictures but hubby's phone is a pain in the ass sending them so I'll post them up later.

This was the first time putting fairy lights in a costume. I have put lights on a costume(Mr. Freeze)but not this many. 

It took me days to sew the tutu. I had 27 yards of tulle total. Each yard a different color. I also had to sew the ribbon and sequins on it. I had 3 tiers of ribbon. I added red paint to look like blood on one of the ribbons. It took hours to sew 8 different types of ribbon. Sew 27 yards 4 times -3 times for ribbon and once for the waist. I actually had a tutorial from Cachi's Customs to help with it.

I bought a skeleton body suit that glows in the dark but best of all-it fit. Which was hard to find but I found it on Etsy.

The wig had pigtails too and colorful. It sometimes stuck to my make up but I love it.

The umbrella I picked up that summer before I even started the costume but knew what I was going to do. Got that at Fun Town/Splash Town.

I also had red contact lenses and Pennywise teeth.

I might put up a tutorial how I did the tutu for an adult eventually.

The bottom picture show the mess I had in my sewing room trying to sew all those layers.

Thanks for stopping by.

Starting my Halloween Costume

 

 

 

 

 

 

   I started my Halloween costume. Well, I bought the fabric and some accessories but I actually haven't started sewing my costume. I've been dealing with Lyme disease, again, and finally have the strength to get back to getting things done around the house, working out and just not feeling like garbage all the time. I will have a post about Lyme disease soon.

   Anyway, back to the costume making. I actually am deciding on two costumes to make. I'll show you the patterns here. Both are from Simplicity.

First one is 8719 costume B. I love the new take on Frankenstein's bride. I have black boots already. I would also make the outfit in white also. I was thinking of getting this wig instead. I could use this wig for other costumes in the future

  I also bought some white leggings and could also use it for the other costume. I would also get these gray wraps and sew them to fit my arms to look like her arm bandages.

 

                

 

Those boots are awesome and if your interested in getting them, you can buy them at Demoniacult.

 

 These would be great for scars.

 

 

My other costume idea is Simplicity 8971. I would make it into a ghost and not an Ice Queen. I bought the fabric at Fabric Whole Sale Direct. The fabric was inexpensive.  I received my order within two days. I haven't opened the package yet as I've been working and wanted to wait until I had the time to look at it while not being so tired from work. I will put a post on the cutting out the costume and the fabric itself.

This costume needs a lot(and I mean a lot) of fabric.

I had to buy probably 30 or more yards of fabric and I still didn't buy fabric for the scales on the corset or lace around the neckline.

 

 I like to do an dye on my costume. All my fabric is white and would like to dye an ombre of black on the bottom of it.

 

 

I like this wig here for the price.

 

 

These nails for claws.

 

I also want to paint my fingers black like Wanda in Dr. Strange.

I am also thinking on a crown but I will most likely make it myself. Something like this below.

 

 

 I hope to get started soon and I will put up pictures of the process. It might be two costumes, who knows.
