Halloween Costumes
I made two costumes this year: a sushi costume for me and a white dress for my friend's Cleopatra costume. It was my first time ever sewing clothes and her dress turned out great. I <3 my sushi costume so much!!
Her dress is made with a satin-like fabric (not sure if it was actually satin... felt like an 80s prom dress).
The outside "seaweed" is green fabric sewn around a piece cut from a twin-size foam mattress pad. The rice is basically a huge pillow stuffed with Polyfil. The green cylinder is wasabi and the pink stuff is supposed to be ginger. The "tuna" on my head has another piece of the foam pad in it and some more Polyfil. In my hair are two sushi hairclips made with Shrinky Dinks (can't see them in this pic). Please disregard the Solo cup between my boobs!!
I had a blast being the only girl at a block party not wearing a sexy costume and wearing the only handmade costume I could see. w00t.
