DONE

[sistawendy]

Machine sewing* is done on the Halloween costume. It (just barely) fits. Considering the nature of the fabric, that's no mean feat, if I say so myself.

This one sets a record for cumulative length of seams sewn. I've munched through two large spools. I also need to get the reverse on my machine fixed again, which is absolutely necessary for corsets, and new 60mm rotary cutters.

Oh: my boy wants to be the grim reaper. I have just the pattern, and I picked up the fabric the other day. For the first time ever, I'm going to make a costume for my son! Happiness.



*Yeah, there's always hand work, but this outfit has much less than usual.

Yay!! Oh hey if you need a scythe for him - I have an extra from when I left it at home last year. It's a shorter one but it works...

Has he never wanted a costume before . . . ?

He's wanted a costume before, but not one that I made for him. He usually doesn't pick what he wants until a couple of days beforehand anyway, which isn't anywhere near enough time for me to make him something.

Well, I'm excited for you that it's worked out this year. :)

This year is the first that Bug has expressed an understanding of 'Halloween', and with that comes his costume desire.
He wants to be a Triceratops.

I'm busy making my first (of many, I'm sure) dinosaur costume.
