My three clowns

This was much harder than I thought. I guess you can't tell a five year old, a three year old, and a two year old, to put on their Halloween costumes and hold still for a picture.

I wanted to get some pictures before the big day, just in case things get too crazy with all the candy, parades, carnivals, and such.

I used Simplicity Pattern 2787. It was pretty quick and easy to sew up, but runs really small. I made them while the kids were sleeping, which was not the best idea, because no one was able to do a fitting for me. So, now they are done, and a bit small in some area's, but they will have to do.

Anna was supposed to be a Princess (of course) so I now have mass quantities of hot pink tulle in my stash. She changed her mind when she saw the boys costumes. I had some Amy Butler fabric that I thought would be perfect (it had to be pink, you know) and there you go.
I got the wigs at Joann's, and the polka dot fabric for the boys costumes came from Joann's as well.
It is funny how having kids can make you giddy about Halloween again.
