eBay Queen 5 Sewing Projects 0

Author: If you follow my To-Do list.. (GET A LIFE) I’m kidding.. thank you for reading my boring lists.. You would know that I have been working on some pressing projects. #1 has a wedding to go to, and for some reason COULD NOT wear any of the clothing she owns.. or buy any new clothing. #4 needed a yellow tie made for his dance recital costume, #3 needed a solo costume made for her dance “A Day with the Cat in the Hat”. Along with that costume.. she thought it would be cute to have her two younger brothers (#4 and #5) dress up as Thing 1 and Thing 2… SO I made those costumes also. I am SO glad I took the the clothing and textile classes all 4 years in high school, or my kids would be out of luck!
I present to you Thing 1 and Thing 2.
Here’s #3 in her skirt. I still need to put the sequins on it.
I think she really likes it when she spins in it. I thought the costume
looked a little pirate-ish to me. Argh! Matey!
Wrestle-Mania is alive and well at my house.
#1 chose some vintage fabric we had downstairs for her skirt.
The fabric was a pain to work with.. but I think it turned out pretty cute.
I forgot to take a photo of #4 in his tie… but I promise I made it too

oh good – make me feel totally inadequate… LOL
great job, suzie! how i wish my sewing machine and I could take a little trip to Suzie Camp for about a week and learn sewing For Real! I’m still dreaming of slouchy fit linen/rayon drawstring pants in every color for the summer…
I want to sew my own costume this year for Halloween & I’m either going to be a pirate or a masquerade girl. I’m having a little trouble finding patterns to choose from. Does anyone know of any place I could find a sewing pattern for this type of costume, or just anywhere to find a masquerade costume in general? Thanks in advance!
