This was SUCH a fun costume to make! I bought the black dress from Urban Planet ($20) and the fake fur trim from Fabric Land at $6/meter. I bought 2 1/2 meters but didn’t use it all. You’d be safe with just 2m. It was pretty thick so I cut it in half to sew … Read more

I started this Homemade Jack Skelllington Costume with a black and white striped suit, added a button up long sleeve shirt. The face and hair paint were the hardest – have a 7 year old sit still for that long! I did make a head piece for Jack but my son didn’t want to wear … Read more
