I had a lot of FUN making the kids Halloween costumes this year! Little Miss Emery was a cheerleader (to cheer her brother on of course!) and Max was a basketball player (since he is slightly obsessed with basketball!)
I made her tutu from a tutorial I found on YouTube and then altered it to make it the size and length I needed for a baby. It was super easy and very quick to make! I know I will be making more in the near future!! It was also very CHEAP to make!!
This cute megaphone design is from Applique Cafe! I love the raggy pom-poms! I added the Go Tigers using my merging software Sew What Pro!
Here is Max's Bball outfit! I got the sweatsuit at Target for $14 bucks! It had a car design on the front that I covered up with the basketball! I think the whole outfit turned out so cute and the great thing is he can keep wearing it!
The basketball design is from Planet Applique. Again I used my merging software to add the 2 and Max to the basketball.
If you notice Max's treat basket I took a basketball and cut the top off of it! I then put tiny holes in the side and put some ribbon through it and wala he had a basketball treat basket! I think we had more compliments on the basketball then anything else! I got the basketball at Walmart for $4 bucks!

ReplyDeleteThe costumes are so cute. Do you use Sew What Pro to put the names on your shirts too? I just downloaded the trial version and am trying to figure it out. LOVE your blog and all your cute shirts!!
Yes, I use Sew What Pro to merge my names with designs too! Thanks for your compliments! You are so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love Sew What Pro! Let me know if you have any questions.
Awesome!! I have lots of questions but hate to bother you with them. You are so sweet to offer help. Any advice on the best way to do an applique with a name using SWP would be great and how do you hoop.... What stabilizer works best, do you use a ball point needle. I haven't had great luck yet. Ugh, Its frustrating being new at this. :) feel free to email me so we don't have to keep 'talking' through comments. hgb_1126@yahoo.com
