These costumes have been sitting here since I made them in May-June and so I was dying to have the boys try them on. We still have about 3 weeks until Halloween, but here is a preview for you.
Inspired by Connell's obsession with games -- we decided to go as "cards" this year. We thought that the joker fit Liam's personality and the Ace of Spades fit Connell's. The boys were really excited just hearing about the costumes and then attentively watched as I made them. Liam's is from all scrap fabric and was a blast to make! Connell's was a little boring to put together (black) and I actually made the cape just to give it a little pizazz! I had fun doing coloring on the cards on their fronts. Those are spades on Connell's head by the way. A few Dollar Store accessories (axes, etc.) and I thought they turned out rather cute. I also felt like they needed card-themed trick-or-treat bags instead of the normal ones.
And my sewing did not stop there. I also crafted costumes for Ray and myself -- he will be the King of Clubs and I will be the Queen of Diamonds. You will have to wait for Halloween itself to see those costumes.
(excuse the poor photos as I think my batteries are almost dead thus resulting in poor lighting)
