I made this Baby Buzz Lightyear costume and didn't have to sew anything but the cap. I took an old sleeper that I had from my daughter that was pink and bleached it white. Then, following a store-bought Buzz costume in a bigger size, cut felt pieces to match. I glues them on with hot glue because I didn't have any fabric glue on hand. (I have an adversion to fabric glue--growing up my mom didn't sew, so she glued EVERYTHING. I swore I wouldn't do that, but its fine for anyone that doesn't have psychological damage from it)
Just about any pattern can be made into a Halloween costume. Its just the fabric that makes the difference. I made my son a Mad Hatter costume by taking a pattern for a regular fleece jacket and pants and used costume fabric from Joann's. For the hat, I took leftover fur from a Santa costume and glued it inside a painted plastic top hat purchased from the costume store for 99 cents.
For my Cruella Deville costume I continued using the remnant of fur from the Santa costume to make my dalmation stoal. I took a fabric marker and colored all the marks on it. Added my favorite black dress, a thrifted 50 cent belt, and a lot of black and white hairspray to complete the costume.
These are the simplest window treatments ever which is why they are all over my house. I did line the back with some scrap fabric so the light wouldn't shine through, but that's all the sewing that is requred. The fabric is stapled onto a 1 x 3 and then screwed into the wall using an L-bracket. You may or may not add the ribbon ties.
This has been in my home for almost as long as we have lived here. We had a brand-new home at the time and didn't have any tree branches I could use. I was at the church on a Saturday and they were trimming down the trees in the parking lot, so I grabbed one of their branches. I had a friend at the time that had this great leaf font and made this quote into vinyl for me. She's moved away, and I can't find her link anymore online.
