Flapper Headband

I had the fun request to make a Flapper Headband for a Halloween this year.  The costume had come with a simple standard Flapper Headband and the Mom wanted something more original and true to the era.  I looked online for ideas for a true era Flapper Headband and then went to work creating a simple yet fun Headband.

The Headband turned out fabulous (and lucky for me, my baby girl may be able to borrow and wear this costume in a few years).

My two oldest daughters had so much fun acting as models and trying on the headband.

Apple Dumpling Costume

With Halloween coming the end of this month, I am preparing my Children's Halloween costumes.  Although I told myself that I did not have time to make costumes this year and told my kids that we would pick them out at the store.  I find myself making them.  My Husband actually prefers Homemade Costumes over store bought.  As I got out the Halloween Decoration and Costumes, I came across the first costume I had made for my oldest daughter.

I had made her an Apple Dumpling costume.  It was her first Halloween and I really wanted to make her a costume, as my own Mother had made most of our Halloween costumes.  I went to the Fabric Store one evening with my daughter and perused the pattern books and came across an Apple Dumpling Costume.  Being that my daughter was only 7 months old at the time, there wasn't very many costumes in her size to choose from.

I spent several evenings working on her costume, but the end result was adorable.  She was so cute, and I am sad to say that it was never worn again.  My other 2 girls were summer babies and therefore this costume was a a bit too big for a 2 or 3 month old.  Maybe one day it will be worn again.
