Reusable Monster Bags Done!

3 reusable trick or treat monster bags

Bee costume for Kian

Yea!  I love crossing things off lists.  Even small lists.  Here's my completed bags. 

They were so easy to make.  No pattern used here.  Just creating as I went along.   My favorite way to sew.  These bags cost 70 cents each to make....tops.  Each took two full pieces of felt, a scrap of ribbon from my ribbon scrap box, scraps of felt from old projects for the eyes, teeth, and polka dots, and old shirts and stretch pants for arms and legs.  I love using old beat up or stained clothes in new projects.

 Lissy's monster's limbs were once stretch pants.  I hate stretch pants.  I admit it.  But these were stained hand me downs anyways. 

The boys' monsters' limbs were once Logan's stained shirt.  Instead of being thrown out, they made perfect and free monter limbs.

The candy goes straight into monster's open mouth.

Half Homemade Halloween

I'm aiming to do a Half Homemade Halloween.  Why not a full homemade Halloween?  Well, I'm pretty sure Logan is going to want to wear the dragon suit his cousin gave him.  He's obsessed with dragons.  Most days, he says he IS one.  And I think Felicity may just end up wearing a collaboration of things from the dress up box.  I don't know.  We're still working on it.  So here's my short sewing list for my Half Homemade Halloween.

Thank goodness it's a short list because I just finished all my sewing for Kian's first birthday (post on that to come soon I hope....as soon as I find time to edit pics), and my niece also had a birthday and I sewed for her too.  That leaves me less than a month to do my Halloween sewing so thank God it's only a Half Homemade Halloween.
