**For last year's post on previous costumes I have made, go (HERE)**

This year, only one of my boys wanted me to make his costume. Which is nice in that I don't get totally burned out on costumes by the time Halloween rolls around and it is actually time to wear them!
My son decided to go classic this year and be a ghost. I paid .99 for a basic Simplicity kids costume pattern for the robe and hood, but as usual, didn't bother to follow the instructions for assembly at all. Haha!
I made it out of bleached muslin and some Halloween "fabric" cheesecloth that I got dirt cheap during a big sale at Joann's. So, all in all, it was a fast, cheap and easy job...and I LOVE it! I think it turned out great.
My son loved it too, and literally looked like a spooky white spectre floating through the parking lot of our church's Trunk-or-Treat. He rocked that ghost costume! Which, of course, makes every effort of making homemade Halloween costumes worth every stitch.
Happy Halloween!!
Ashe must be one of the coolest kids ever. It took my boys until they were 10(at least) until they would consider face make-up. Love it!
