Halloween

[Aroura]

I love Halloween.  I'm going as Professor Mcgonagall, my daughter is going as Draco Malfoy (Yes, a Slytherin boy, lol), and I think hubby will be Dr. Horrible again this year.

I make our Halloween costumes.  Here is the Howie Lab Coat I made for my husband a couple of years back (Modeled on Dr. Horrible and also the lab coats worn in Alien), I drafted this pattern myself.  My blog on "how to" for other sewists Sewing Blog.



And here is my family (I made all 3 costumes) a few years back.   My daughter actually won $100 for her Tinkerbell costume (Also drafted from scratch). 



 My hubby on the left is wearing a leather trimmed, silk lined Edwardian coat for his Steampunk costume, and my dad (far right), as always, is a pirate.




Here is me, same group, my 16th century houppelande gown made out of sheets, lol.  I even made the rolled head piece, hand sewed on all those beads and trim.  This was modeled mostly on the famous painting of The Lady of Shallot (not the colors, but the cut).
Lots of fun!



Yeah, I'll post pictures, if anyone is interested, once I finish this years Harry Potter costumes.
