Today is the final
day of the
Hop!
Thank you to all of you that have stopped
in and visited everyone's blog.
A big thanks to Marian for entrusting me
with hosting this hop while she
in one her way back to the states.
I figured since I was hosting the hop,
I need to join in the fun.
No quilting for this project,
I had to create a Mad Hatter costume for my daughter.
She doesn't like to match anyone
else, so a handmade jacket
was just the ticket.
This is what I came up with for her..
Using Simplicity pattern #8020, fabric, interfacing,
some of my favorite threads,
and a few hours.
I made her this....
As you can see the Mad Hatter,
(well the newer version)
had spools of thread for a sash.
I threaded them
all using DMC embroidery floss
and my iCraft Mixed Media Adhesive.
(Love that stuff)
My favorite are the variegated
spools.
They are so fun.
I might have to put them all in
a jar after Halloween is
over.
If I can get them back from
my daughter.
For my Halloween projects of past,
in my home
I don't decorate a lot,
but here are a couple of my favorite
but here are a couple of my favorite
I also just finished a tutorial
over at Thermoweb
for these little pumpkins.
They are going to
work their way right into
my Thanksgiving décor.
I hope you enjoyed your stop here
and please stop by the rest of the
hoppers for today.

ReplyDeleteNice jacket! I used to make all of my kid's costumes too. We don't have as many trick or treaters these days but we still love to get out our decorations and have fun.
