Halloween sewing


I made a skirt and cape for a friends little girl for Halloween.  Her mom was going to dress her up as a witch so I was inspired to make some of the costume components. I had the Halloween toile in my stash- black with spider webs with sequins and glitter.  I added a ribbon flower for some pizazz.  The cape was just from a sketch of a pattern I threw together.  It was a black velvet lined with a deep purple satin that had embroidered oriental motifs.  I just loved the satiny contrast to the black velvet.  I expect this will end up being more of a play costume than a Halloween costume.
