There are many pre-made Mario themed costumes out there but they are all so over used and lacking in good taste so this year we decided to go the extra mile. Much of the Princess Peach costume was purchased at a costume store but only when we broke out the old sewing kit to attach … Read more
This year I wanted to make another creepy couples costume for my husband and I. We’ve always loved the movie Silent Hill, and I’ve always wanted to be one of those faceless scary burned nurses! So I started looking around the house for stuff I could use to make the scariest Silent Hill Nurse and … Read more
This is our fun Mario, Peach, and Yoshi Family Costume. I made my dog’s costume but using a green t-shit and a yard of green fabric and felt squares in red and white. I cut the felt in the shape of a hood then cut eyes out and used an old black shirt to make … Read more
My son’s favorite video game is Little Big Planet so he decided he wanted to be Sackboy for Halloween. There are NO commercial Sackboy costumes on the market so mama had to step up and make him a costume! I bought some cheap jersey fabric at the craft store and made a quick little jumpsuit … Read more
Of course my son doesn’t want to be anything easy… lol, but I love to sew and this is my one chance to shine. I went to cut octagons for his Dry Bones costume, he (7yrs old) says “no…turtles have hexagon shells not octagons”, silly me. Material was left over from last year’s Angry Bird, … Read more
This great homemade Super Mario costume I handmade. I made the hat from felt and the overalls from blue nylon material. It was not too difficult and it was a Halloween when Mario was not as popular. We put raccoon ears and a tail to be the Mario with flying powers. My boy loves Mario … Read more

I sewed the entire costume myself (except for the long sleeve top underneath) out of fleece and felt with a … Read more
For the girls costume, I bought stretchy fabric for the skirt and sewed it to fit properly and cut two long strips for the suspenders. After the skirt was made, I sewed big yellow buttons onto the skirt. I took a plain white tshirt and used fabric spray for the polka dots. Add yellow ribbon … Read more
Every year my boyfriend and I do something fun for Halloween. This year we decided to go to a Halloween yacht party so we thought it would be only appropriate to have matching costumes and not something cliche like a captain and a sailor.

My son wanted to be a light blue Pac Man ghost for Halloween. I took a large piece of cardboard and cut it to shape (I looked at images online to figure out the shape). Then I painted it blue and added the eyes. I made straps out of heavy clear duct tape. Take two … Read more

It was mid-October of last year when I had finally decided not to dress up for the upcoming Halloween. I had no plans, so why bother? Then I received an invitation to a Halloween party complete with a costume contest. I’m not usually one to let competition go to waste, so I had to come … Read more
