My kids both wanted to be soldiers for halloween.
You might question where they came up with that idea from.
Well, they just want to be like their Daddy ;)
I made my girl's dress out of an old military blouse.
A friend taught me how to sew this dress. She is an awesome seamstress!
We used this pattern {here}
I'm hopin' I'll also get to try this pattern too, some day!
The pockets on her dress come from the original pockets of the blouse and the belt was made from the wrist cuffs of the shirt.
There was enough material to make my son a "tool belt" (or candy belt) from the other pockets of the shirt.
My sister, Becka, made a homemade halloween costume too (a little black cat, I believe ;)). I'm hoping she'll post it today, as well.
This post is linked up to the Halloween Costume Parade Party at SITS!

Those are awesome costumes!! good job, and they are so cute!
That is so cute! Can you make me a camo skirt?
CK: great costumes but, even more than the kids looking so cute, I think it is WONDERFUL that they are emulating Daddy, and that you certainly encouraged that for their outfits. May I take this time to say THANK YOU to your husband, for being part of our armed forces, and thank you to YOU and the kids too, for putting up with all that you have to, having a husband/dad being a defender for all of us! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICES!
Best regards and thanks, and blessings too,
Gloria
Ah, now that IS sweet! I love it! :)

Those are so cute, Thank you for the pattern reference, I think I'll make my niece one from my sons old uniforms I've been saving - for who knows what. I guess this is the what.
Very creative! You're amazing!
Love the little soldiers! Good luck with the SITS contest!

And those outfits can be wear all year, not just in this season!
Great job!!!
Oh wow, you MADE that dress? You're amazing!!! Love the costumes.
i LOVE the army dress you made! i hope you hold onto that beautiful costume for years.
That is so great that you made those! They look so adorable!
Cute, great idea--the kids and you! Nice memories.
Wow! Incredible costumes! So meaningful, on so many levels. That little dress is absolutely precious, and I love the tool belt you made for your son! Incredible!
They look so great! I just think it's adorable how little kids idolize their daddies! And that dress!!! Sheesh! So stinkin' cute!
I was wondering if you would email me some short instructions on how you made the dress. I would love to make these for my girls. They love wearing things that remind them of Daddy and this would be great! Thanks so much!
