Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep...
and does not know where to find him.
Leave him alone and he'll come home...
with his tail wagging behind him.
Hold his hand and he may stay right beside you. : )
Yes, I sure finally finished all the costume sewing for this Halloween! Yippy!
/The two little ones are as excited as I am. OK, well Sweet pea is. I was able to get Prince C to wear his hat with no fuss too. I think that is because of the cold, windy days we have been having here.
Now on to the details of Miss Bo Peep costume! This is the under dress I shared with you the other week. The pink corset was made using a modified Fairy tail dress pattern, same as her dress. It has to be laced up to be put on to wear, Sweet pea's request. The trim used on the corset and bonnet was also a request of Sweet pea's too. My grandmother sent it to her back this summer and she called it her candy trim so it had, had to be used for her costume.
The petticoat was a Sunrise Designs pattern. It was my first time sewing with one of these patterns. I did change a wee bit of the pattern. I do love the bow and rose on the side.
The bonnet is a favorite of mine. It's from Mommy Apron strings blog, a free pattern. I did have to enlarge it by an 1/2" to fit Sweet pea, it fits perfect too. I didn't have to change a thing on this part, I love it as is!
Well, I am done with the costumes! Are you still sewing any thing for your kids?
Happy Sewing!

ReplyDeleteThank you! I just adore costume sewing, it one of the few times I can anything she really wants. (and what I want too)
DeleteSo much work you clever clever girl!
ReplyDelete*blushing* it was really worth all of it. She adores her dress and Prince C is loves to rub his oh so soft belly. He stays just as snug as a bug in a rug.

Thanks! I can't wait to find out what they want to be next year.
DeleteThey are really, really wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Deleteyou're going to want to keep these precious costumes!
ReplyDeleteI think so, can they wear them both at Easter this next year? ; )
DeleteSharon, you are so talented! The costumes are perfect. Looks like these too had fun posing for pictures too! What are the older boys dressing up as?
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy! The boys are all wearing their costumes from last year again (they love them still), they really never stopped wearing them though. ; ) They all held up very, very well.
DeleteFreaking out from how perfect, detailed, and fantastic their costumes are. So impressed.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I am blushing here! I really did have a blast sewing these, it so much fun planning costumes then seeing them come together as you had panned. Sarah helped "design" her dress. I think that is why she loves it so.
DeleteYou're so clever and talented Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThese costumes are pretty impressive - I love every detail and I know I wouldn't possible sew something a bit similar. You're really brave!!
Congratulations!!
Thank you! This is my favorite sewing, when I can make something that my kids wants and make just as they imaging it.
DeleteBeautiful !!!!! I love the idea of the costumes and then the actual costumes themselves are amazing.
ReplyDeleteBoth costumes are so perfect! Great job!
