Halloween's Past

I've been scanning old pictures and came across these of my oldest daughter and niece in costumes my sister and I made them. I have to admit, the costumes I made for the oldest were much more planned and thought out. The second and third one got the hand me down costumes and ones that are just thrown together at the last minute.

Dance Costume using Karen Capri Pattern

I recently helped design a dance costume for my friend who runs the Tippy Toes Studio. I used an adjusted Karen Capri halter top pattern. Instead of straps, I used black ribbon and instead of fabric ties, I used black tulle tied in a bow in the back. They wore them over the shiny gold leotards. Here is a picture of the class. They not only looked great but danced great also.
