Minor sewing skills are necessary, but nothing really fancy is required. Materials- 1 red trucker hat with a white front 1/2 yard … Read more

Every year the company that I work with has a Halloween Event in which people bring their children to “Trick or Treat” around the cubicles.

I made these Dragon Ball Z costumes for my boys. I used a pattern for boys scrubs that I altered. I also used felt for the decal and just hand sewed it together. It was a real hit with our friends and family, I even had adults asking me to make them one.
I basically sewed the overalls, got a long sleeved yellow shirt, got a black headband and used left over fabric from the overalls to make the ears then colored the tips in black. To make the tail I just used a hanger to form the shape and sewed the fabric over it, then later stuffed … Read more

To make this costume, we basically copied the instructions from Riva F.’s costume on this site, with a few exceptions. Instead of putting 1/2 inch thick foam inside the tail, we put … Read more
