I made all of my children's Halloween costumes....my favorite was a tweetie bird costume with the big head...but my daughter wouldn't wear the head so you couldn't really tell what she was. I also made a spider out of a costume fur coat I bought at a thrift store with 8 feet that I connected to the arm so they would raise and lower. Now....I make my grandchildren their costumes until they get too old to dress up. It's the one thing they really love to do...although it's hard on the young ones when we go to the fabric store to pick out fabric....they think the costume is made instantaneous...so it's hard for them to wait. This year my youngest is going to be a Star Wars Ewok and my second youngest is going to be some sort of green horse from Mario Brothers, Yoshi.
