My son went trick-or-treating as a doctor in 2007. This pattern was super easy to use.
boys davy crockett costume (Simplicity 3650)
I made a Davy Crockett costume for my son to wear on Hallowe'en in 2008. (it is worn with a purchased coonskin cap).
boys' wolf costume
I bought the mask at Sears during the post-Halloween clearance last year. (It was less than $2.) I made the tail and the tabard in less than two hours. The tail is filled with polyfil (like a stuffed animal), and it has two loops that go over his belt so it is securely attached. The tabard is simply two rectangles with grosgain ribbon attaching them at the shoulders. The time consuming part here was that cutting this "furry" fabric is a very fussy endeavor. You have to cut it from the back, in tiny little cuts (approx 1/4 inch at a time) so that you don't mangle the fur on the front side.
boys Robin Hood costume 2014
To make this last-minute Robin Hood (there's nothing like coming up with an outfit at 10 pm the night before an event), I grabbed the shirt from my Outlander dress, the belt from a purchased boys' Star Wars costume, and I made the green tunic very quickly and without hemming or finishing the edges. As for me, I wore my wedding dress (there's no point in letting it gather dust in the closet, I pull it out and wear it as a costume all the time.
