About a month ago, my friend Amy B asked me to make her son a Yoda Hat. I had never made a Yoda Hat and frankly had to refresh myself with Yoda. Sorry to all you Star Wars fans!
After researching Yoda, I came up with this hat. Check out this cute little man, Dexter. Amy made the rest of the costume and he is just too precious.

Yellow Angry Bird Costume
Halloween is just one day away! I wanted to share the costume I made for my oldest son, Ryan. Since his first idea of dressing up like Phineas & Ferb with his little brother failed (his brother is Scooby Doo) he had to go in another direction. Ryan loves playing Angry Birds. He asked me if he could then be an Angry Bird. I thought this was a great idea.
I showed Ryan some pictures of costumes, mainly the Red Angry Bird, and I was promptly told that the Red Angry Bird wasn't very fast. He wanted to be the Yellow Angry Bird as it is super fast!

Ruffled Candy Corn Shirts
It's no secret, I'm not a seamstress. I'm just not good at it. That being said, when I put my mind to something, I almost always succeed. Well, I saw a beautiful candy corn ruffled shirt and was inspired enough to make 6!
These are our sweet friends, Zoe and Aubrey, sporting their shirts.

Anna's Halloween Romper
The other day at Joann Fabrics, I found the best candy corn fabric. I know, I know, I have an addiction to all things candy corn! I bought a couple of yards to make something with one of my Whimsy Couture Patterns.
I wanted to make Anna something cute with this fabric. I opened up my Pillowcase Romper Pattern and got started.

I have some great picks for your today. Enjoy!
Click on the picture for more information.
I love how Sew Kate Sew transformed this sweatshirt into a really cute jacket. I recently saw something like this on Etsy for $80. I know I wouldn't pay that, but I would definitely try this tutorial!
