Last Night I spent some quality time with a pattern, my sewing machine and most importantly, a seam ripper. This Halloween I decided to be adventurous and make our costumes from patterns. The first and last time I worked with a pattern (for sewing) was my seventh grade Home Economics class. It was a very square “blouse” with a doily looking collar. Not pretty!

Altering! That’s my thing! Although I will say that some of the technical things I am learning and brushing up on will probably come in handy on my next alteration project. I still hate patterns though!

So here is a little sneak peak into what I am making. Here is part of my boyfriends costume. Can you guess what we are going to be?

No? Well here is a photo of me testing out my hair style for my costume.

If you still don’t know… well, I’m sorry but we can’t be friends anymore. Please mail me the CD you borrowed. Your number will be deleted from my phone promptly.
