Halloween Costumes 2018

Phew!  Another Halloween in the books!  We ended up with a black cat (hence the tutorial for a simple cat tail), a Paladin of Voltron (Lance to be specific), Rayla from Dragon Prince (see more details on that costume here), and a Ranger from the book series Ranger’s Apprentice.  Halloween 2018 ended up with very happy children which makes for a happy mom! Nut-Nut loves pretending to be a cat.  Actually, I bribe her with saucers of milk so she can drink milk like a kitty.  It’s kinda like magic.  But the true magic is watching her joy as...

After sewing my daughter’s layered ruffle tee from the Maggie Top, I just could not get over how cute and grown up she looked.  And she loves her outfit!  I love sewing for her when she loves the outcome.  I saw the last bit of the floral jersey I used here and knew it would make the perfect peplum to match her lavender pants!  So I took the same pattern as before and made a Maggie Peplum Top!  Now I’ve got a little capsule wardrobe going for her.  She might actually go to school in clothes that go together!
