I usually highlight handmade costumes throughout the month of October, but this year the whole month just sort of seemed to pass me by. I didn’t want to break from my tradition entirely, so before we put Halloween behind us for good I wanted to spotlight a few of my favorites this season.
Frosty the Snowman
Little Artiste
Pig in a Blanket
Optimus Prime
Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf
My Cakies has been wowing me with her Halloween costumes for years and her mini barber shop quartet did not disappoint!
But the first place winners of this years Handmade Halloween Costume Contest have got to go to Erika of Yellow Pear for her family of Star Wars characters. Her costumes were simple to do, easy to recreate, but oh-so-chic.
Just look at little Luke & R2D2
But wait, there’s another blue ribbon waiting for the epic Darth Vader Princess.
Cool as cool can be and hopefully I will have a chance to recreate all three of these costumes when my guys get just a little older. I can already tell it’s going to be GREAT!!
Got a great Handmade Costume I should know about? Send me a pic or shoot me a link, I’m always cataloging great ideas on Pinterest.

O my, super duper cute! Especially loved the barber shop fellas! I love your custom of highlighting handmade Halloween costumes through the month. I don’t sew much and hence always pine for anything handmade…
On another note – your kiddos are truly adorable, Stacy.
PS: Hey, the Diwali round-up post is up. Thought, I’d let you know since you’d asked for it.
SO cute! We usually choose something simple that the kids can help make =) http://theeducatorsspinonit.blogspot.com/2011/10/whoooo-wants-to-make-owl-costume-for.html

I absolutely love handmade costumes! I made a British Royal Guard costume for my 2-year-old son this year, and he seemed to love it. He’s still wearing the hat!
