Costume Parade

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.
