I have made very little progress on the Halloween costumes because we have been busy painting, cleaning and moving. I have managed to pull my sewing machine out of the box it has been in the last 6-8 months. However, I don't have a table to set it up on unless I put it on the dining table. I really want to avoid that, but it may come to it if I don't find a good table at a yard sale soon.
I had started resizing a boys long sleeve shirt I got at a thrift store for T's scarecrow costume but she didn't like the color and it took so much effort to get her to try it on to size it that I gave up and scraped it. Instead I will do a dress in fall colors and forget trying to make it look like on the movie. It just isn't worth the effort to make something she doesn't want to wear anyway.
I finished dying baby M's onesie and it didn't turn out as well as I had dreamed, though it was pretty close to what I expected. I'm thinking of buying pants and a long sleeve shirt anyway since it might be chilly enough. She also yanks her lions mane off at first chance so that will be fun to deal with too.
I have bought all of the material to make D and T's dresses and have started cutting out T's. I'm hoping to start sewing them in the next couple nights. I definitely need to start by the weekend. I'll probably have to put in some late nights to get it done without interruptions.
So I am a bit sad and stressed about these costumes. At least I got a couple pumpkins and some pumpkin butter at Trader Joe's this morning, so thing aren't all that bad.
