Costume Parade

Figured I would like a post with all the costumes I have made in one spot. So here we go! I must give credit to Grandma Gillis and Grandma Hoefert for helping on a couple.



Custom Overall's Scarecrow

Starting with a Thrift store pair of overalls. My mother and I made our own custom overalls. We made two pairs that year one for my niece as well.

Dorothy

This was a dress my grandmother made for my youngest cousin and it got passed down to my daugther. The dress worked great for Dorothy although it was not what it was origionally made for. The basket was a thrift store find.

Buzz Lightyear version #1


Superman

Thrift Store Finds Pirate

Every item on this costume was from a thrift store. The only thing that was "Pirate" was the hat otherwise the rest was just clothing that we used to create the look.


Pippi Longstocking

Starting with a thrift store dress I sewed on patches and tossed on some miss matching sox and some chunky boots. I sewed Pippi's monkey friend, Mr. Neilson, to her shoulder so he would always be with her without getting lost. The hair is done with a piece of wire that ran across the back of her head and through her braids.

I will have to search through photos at my mother's house to find some of my old costumes made by my mother. The Oreo Cookie Costume was the best!
