We enjoyed a community Halloween party on Tuesday. It was a chilly evening and the party was outside. K helped with the spook alley, so she left her wings at home. K also chose our costume theme this year. Akahige and I were originally going to be Wendy and John, but everytime we mentioned Koishi's and K's we were told we had to do Hook. Which left me with either Smee or the crocodile. I choose Smee.
So onto sewing & crafting.
We found K's dress and shoes at DI, wings at the dollar store. I made her a jacket, cause Autumn in the rockies is cold. We also created a cool arm wrap and hair clips.
Koishi's shirt is a refashioned from a DI find. I made him a hat and pants. He lost his red feather at the first Halloween party. He loves his sword to fight monsters.
My costume is extra striped fabric from a maxi dress I made. Hat and belt are extra from Hook's vest. I used a free shirt pattern and whipped it up in a couple hours.
Akahige's Hook vest. This is the one I dreaded the most! I used a jacket pattern and altered it. All the trim and custom fiting. Ugh! After 2 weeks I got it done. I also made his three corner hat. I caved and not a hook instead of making one.
At the party they served pizza and then let the kids go around to the cars. I decorated ours as a pirate ship. We made the kids walk a "plank" to get their candy. It was a fun evening!
