However, I am now old and decrepit and my youngest (YOUNGEST!) is eight and is starting to think he is too old for this stuff.

I'm blushing! ;-) I have to say, though, that some of the best costumes I've made were made out of chicken wire and duct tape and refrigerator boxes and old blankets, with no sewing required. I figure since I sew all year long, Halloween should be my one vacation!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-32827968287490650642009-11-02T15:20:25.331-07:002009-11-02T15:20:25.331-07:00I went for easy and fast for costumes this year! ...I went for easy and fast for costumes this year!

So I am like you, I like the low expectation level of a costume. I did have to sew up a little under slip for my daughters costume and finished 15 minutes before her activity day party. Nothing like sewing under time pressure constraints. Just glad it is over for another year.Nutty Hamster Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140942348874900744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-56433722215047079472009-11-02T08:45:18.215-07:002009-11-02T08:45:18.215-07:00I slaved this Halloween over E's costume and i...I slaved this Halloween over E's costume and it turned out beautifully.

But I think even better is being a costume plagiarizer! You just have to move around often enough, and you can use the same ideas over and over--and if they aren't your own, no one will ever know...bwahahaha! No that I condone that kind of behavior. yeah. And honestly--is it really November already? yipes.Heather Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10330324965338293853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-50415106696159990862009-11-02T00:17:29.976-07:002009-11-02T00:17:29.976-07:00I sew and I only made my boys costumes when they w...I sew and I only made my boys costumes when they were young....I got smart!!! It's so much cheaper to buy them AFTER Halloween! I just bought myself a witch's costume for $15!!! I can't make it for that! But then I look at it and think, I can make one better than this.
