SO - I have had a marathon sewing fest the last few days. I had forgotten just how labor intensive dress making is. And there's nothing quite like saying, "Honey, go get me a hammer so I can do the next step on your dress!" (lol!) BUT - I had also forgotten just how much I love it! I finished the Princess's Rapunzel dress today (whew!) and will give you a little teaser:
I am going to force the child to go for a photo shoot tomorrow and I'll get some real pictures up soon! But first, I have to finish the this:
Yeah. Turns out, if you want to do Rapunzel hair, it takes a pound of yarn. Who knew?
By comparison, the little man's Thor costume felt almost like cheating. It came together in less than an hour. Here's a preview:
My princess dress (hiding behind Thor there...) is currently on hold, but I am pleased to say the sleeves are going to work! More on that later...
So, that is my Halloween costume summary! Better pictures to come!
ALSO - on THURSDAY (October 20) I will be posting a review of an awesome website complete with a GIVEAWAY!! I promise you - you don't want to miss it, so mark your calendars!! :)
Linking up to Freshly Pieced! Be sure to check out all of the awesome WIPs!!

Your kids are going to be so excited! Much better than the store-bought crap (like I got).
I can't wait to see them all in full and on the kids, they already look adorable!!!
Cute! Glad you got the marathon sewing time in! Can't wait to see the pics after the photo shoot.
So cute! Can't wait to see her with the hair and her pretty dress! The boy over here decided to just go the store route and be a transformer (complete with built in muscles) but the girl wants to be a plain witch and I'm having trouble finding a plain black dress. Isnt' that weird? May have to make it. I've been inspired (by yours!).
that rapunzel hair is going to be great! - oh and the costumes are too :)
fabulous work, can't wait to see them with their models!
You are such a cool mom! Those are great costumes. I'll be back to see the full review.
the costumes look wonderful! can't wait to see them "in action". i am really curious to see rapunzel's hair!
ooohh.. fun costumes!! let me guess, the hammer was for those grommets?? Can't wait to see those costumes in action.
What fantastic costumes! You are so multi-talented! Can't wait to see all the pictures with the kids wearing their costumes.
Those are awesome! I am definitely taking the easy way out on making the costume this year (she's only 1 so she won't care), but yours are super impressive :)
Great job in such a small amount of time.
