I saw this costume on Pinterest and completely fell in love with it. Unfortunately, there was no tutorial and the only ones I could find on Etsy were $150. I’m a perfectionist and a HUGE A League of Their Own fan, so I decided to make one myself. Using my daughter’s clothes, I made the top, … Read more

This was my daughter’s second Halloween costume. It was VERY last minute and very inexpensive! Half of the stuff I already had. I was absolutely against a pre-made store costume. She already had hot pink leggings, the leg warmers, and puma shoes. I only had to purchase the leotard (six dollars), a thrift shop sweat shirt … Read more
“A flying squirrel? Why on earth did you pick a flying squirrel?” That’s all I heard on Halloween. But really, why aren’t flying squirrels a more popular Halloween costume choice? Cute ears, fluffy tail, and winged arms…what more can you want out of a costume? And I figured that if I was going to be … Read more
