Halloween

This Halloween I thought it would be fun to do a group costume. I remembered that I had a lion costume from a few years ago and I had already thought about recycling it. Perhaps the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe... or the Wizard of Oz. I suggested this to a group of friends and they thought the Wizard of Oz would be fun. My boyfriend agreed to be the Scarecrow, his friend wanted to be the Tin Man. So then Dorothy and the Lion were left to either myself or Tin Man's girlfriend. Tin Man decided to save himself time and order a costume on line. I have a hard time wearing a bought costume though, I have always made my costume in the past. The only problem was I decided to make both the Dorothy costume and the Scarecrow costume all in 5 days. But it worked out. I sewed both the Dorothy costume and the Scarecrow, plus I made a bag for Scarecrow to carry around. He said he needed it for his "candy". Just as our counterparts were on their way over I decided that the lion needed a badge of courage, definitely helped make that costume more authentic.

Our costumes were well received. On the way to the first party we had people stop us on the street to take out photo! Even at the party we had people asking where we got our costumes! I already have people requesting my to borrow my Dorothy costume, I think I have it booked for the next two years.
