Last year the kids were Super Why and Princess Presto. I made both of these costumes by adapting other patterns. The mask was made out of cardboard, hot glue, and fabric. The logo was downloaded and printed on iron-on paper. Throw some capes on and you've got reading super heros!
Here we have a tinkerbell complete with wings from the dollar spot and pom poms attached to her shoes.(I know its not a very good picture but I didn't have many to choose from)
The first kids costume I ever made. Just black pants and shirt with 4 pairs of purple socks. (One for babies feet, one for babies hands, and two pairs for the other legs. Body suit was sewn out of purple fur and four black legs were attached at the sides. Pretty easy as far as sewing goes.
And my personal favorite-The Ewok. This was the best and the easiest costume I've ever made (No sewing involved as long as you can find a bear outfit). Its just a bear costume (from Children's Place I think) with a burlap hood that I fashioned. I just added a few little decorations with beads and leather strips and there you have it-an Ewok.
Ok-If you have a good idea or know where we can find good ideas, post them here!

I've also done an easy cowboy-jeans and a button up western looking shirt with dollar store cowboy hat and accessories.
Wow, I'm impressed. We always made costumes growing up, but I admit I haven't made one for my own kid before. Maybe I'll get inspired this year.
Meanwhile, I love your new layout! Very cool.
I ordered this costume from Kmart this year and found out today that it is out of stock and they are not shipping it to me! Would you be willing to sell this costume? Let me know! davinaleezer@gmail.com
