The little lady bug was the first costume I ever made.
I made this costume for my cousin's little boy Brock. His daddy is overseas right now. Its made from some of his daddy's old camis.
I had to make Sophie's costume twice because I some how made it 4" to short the first time! Apparently, I wasn't paying very close attention when I cut.
This is him "going in his box"...he means shutting down like Wall-e does at night...lol!
Ian's costume was made entirely from scratch. I even made the Wall-E. I had planned on buying it, but they are not very cute and really expensive. So I started looking for a tutorial, and I found a few made from boxes that had been painted, but I'm not really into painting and I couldn't see spending all that time painting something that would get crushed and dirty and I would end up having to throw it away, so then I decided to make just make a slip cover for a box that way I can throw it in the washer and if the box gets crushed I can just get another one.
Ian loved it! And it was a big hit with all the other kids too! Everytime Ian would take it off all the kids would have to take a turn with it!
I really enjoyed making these costumes. Especially the wall-e one because its so different from what I usually do.

Oh sooo cute! This is one of my favorite movies! So smart to make a slip cover! I am all about reusable costumes!
All of your costumes are wonderful and the kids look so cute. It's fun to see them happy and excited on Halloween. Wall-E is great! Way to get into character. Thanks for visiting my site and for the compliments.

I love that green color that Tinkerbell is wearing. All the kids look adorable and you did an excellent job on the ladybug costume, too!
Love, love, love the Wall-E. How original!
those little tykes are completely adorable, and their costumes are too! You're really a talented seamstress. Looks like it was the best Hallowe'en ever!
