Halloween Costume Sewing
October 15, 2009 3:07 pm sewingWhen my children were small, I often enjoyed sewing their Halloween costumes. They were more unique than store bought costumes and I had a lot of fun creating them. Although I don’t sew Halloween costumes anymore, I still enjoy looking through patterns to see what is available each year.
This year, I’ve had some trouble finding costume sewing patterns that are suitable for beginners, but I did find a few today that might be easy for beginning seamstresses.
Simplicity 3595 includes a witch, a magician, and a vampire. There are a couple of other patterns included as well, but the ones I have mentioned are mostly capes, which would be easy for beginners. The only concern I would have is that the fabric in the pictures appear to be slippery types of fabric and may be more difficult for beginners to use. However, these are costumes so the sewing doesn’t have to be perfect.
Simplicity 3997 includes sewing patterns for pirates. a cowboy or cowgirl, 50′s teen for boy and girl, and soldiers.
Happy Sewing!
