This inspired me to become a Cruella Deville Costume from 101 Dalmatians for our Halloween Bunco. I purchased Dalmatian colored fleece and made the cape. I found stuffed Dalmatian puppies at a … Read more
I made this costume for my youngest son (14 years) to wear to my eldest sons 18th birthday fancy dress party. In order to get the tight fitting suit I brought a bright green catsuit from my local dance wear supplier (£16), I then needed to get the trademark Riddler question mark on it. To … Read more
Every year my boyfriend and I host a themed Halloween costume party… this year’s theme was Superheroes and Villains! At first, I wasn’t familiar with the vast world of comic book characters, but I knew I wanted to find an iconic villain. When I found Harley Quinn it was love at first sight! I’ve never … Read more

With my son’s white hair and love of banging things I thought a Bamm Bamm Rubble Costume would be the perfect costume for him. I bought orange fleece to make the skirt (I used a pair of shorts as a template to get the shape and length) and sewed in an elastic band and cut … Read more
I made my 9 month old daughter a Homemade Pebbles Flinstone Costume. She was Pebbles from the Flintstones. I used bright pink and black felt. I doubled the pink felt, cut out the dress pattern, left 4 inches for the arms, and about 5 inches for the neck. I then sewed up the sides, up … Read more
