Sewing a Halloween costume should be fun and not disastrous. I remember way back when, my mom was out of town and my sister had torn the hem of her Halloween costume. Being the oldest, she turned to me for help. I was like...no big deal. Grabbed the stapler and stapled up the broken hem. Very effective I tell you. I even lined it with masking tape so that the metal staples didn't poke at her ankles. I was a great big sister. Haha...Halloween is a great time. Over the years I have tried to make costumes for the kids. I made up this mermaid costume for my daughter a couple of Halloweens ago. It was really fun and easy to make. This costume is a size 4/5.
I bought a ruffled tank top that
I embellished with lavender ruffles,
silver ric rac and a starfish button.
Then on the detachable skirt I added ruffles to the top lined with ric rac and a gathered tulle "fin" on the bottom of the skirt. I altered the skirt to fit my daughter and painted on silver glittered scales.
I also made a fluffy fabric flower headband
with glass pearls in the center. Luv it!
Happy Halloween!
