{Medusa & Greek Goddess Costumes~2014}

I know, this doesn't really look like a costume.  Well, this was the dress that I made for Cammi's Medusa costume this last year.  She decided that it could double as a regular dress, so she just added a belt and changed her shoes.  Oh, and decided not to add the snakes to her hair for church!

My other daughter, Miranda, did her hair, with fake snakes coming out of it and it looked so great, but I didn't get to get a good photo of her that night because she had to work and then went straight to a friends party and got ready there.  She took a photo on her phone in front of a mirror at her friends house, so that's the best I have.

This next one was a Greek Goddess for my oldest daughter, Korryne (pronounced Corrine).  I almost always have to add or change something to store-bought patterns and of course I had to with this one as well.  I combined two different patterns, added the dickie and made up the pattern for the sleeves.  They didn't turn out exactly like she wanted, but that was because we ran out of fabric and time. I think it turned out okay and she was happy with it so that's what really matters.

I also made my 16 yo daughter, Miranda, a toga for her Egyptian Goddess costume.  I thought it turned out pretty cool, but she got ready at a friends house and I didn't get a photo of her. Bummer :( 

Cammi keeps telling me that I need to make formals for other people, because I could make some good money. I keep telling her no-way, and that this is a perk for being my child... to get a formal that doesn't look like anyone else's!

{Queen Elsa costume}

This Elsa costume was the first of 5 costumes that I made this year.

This one was for Anna, a little girl from church. Her momma wanted a modest Elsa costume for her, so this is what I came up with.

{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Masks}

Tiffany ordered these masks for her son's 4th birthday party. Her daughter and her friends were there when I delivered the masks so I got to take a photo of all of the kids wearing the masks.  They did a great job posing for me.

I had my youngest son pose as well!

Turtle Masks are available in my Etsy Shop as a custom order.

{felt stethoscopes}

Here are the stethoscopes I made for Tiffany, to go with the lab coats for her niece's birthday party.

The party was based off of the Disney show "Doc McStuffins".

I was able to use die cuts to cut out the whole stethoscope, and then I hand-stitched the band-aid and the hearts on and stitched them together, adding a little bit of stuffing inside.

Rylee's stethascope is on backwards, but you can get the general idea.  So fun!

If you have a fun idea that you'd like me to put together for an event you have coming up, head over to my Etsy shop and send me a custom order request and I'll see what I can do for you.

{lab coats & stethoscopes}

One of my clients, Tiffany, wanted me to make some lab coats for a "Doc McStuffins" birthday party she was throwing for her niece, Rylee. This is a Disney show that I had never heard of until Tiffany told me about it (my kids are all past that stage). 

I couldn't find a pattern for children size lab coats, so I searched the web and found a tutorial to make them from an existing boys long-sleeve dress shirt. Tiffany wanted 2 different sizes, so I borrowed a smaller shirt from a friend and used my oldest boy's Sunday shirt to make the patterns off of.

My boys modeled the larger size coats for me.

Rylee & her friend wearing their coats and enjoying the party.

I cut out and stitched Rylee's name on her coat.  She also got some purple buttons on her coat, to help it stand out a little more.

I had fun creating these fun coats for Rylee's birthday party.  Head over to my next post to see the cute little stethoscopes Tiffany had me make to go with these lab coats.
