18 DIY Halloween Costume Ideas

October 21, 2021 by AllFreeSewing

First it’s back to school, then the weather cools down, then it’s officially fall and  suddenly—gasp!—it’s Halloween! Time goes by in a flash this time of year, and the holidays always manage to sneak up on me. One minute I’m digging my scarves out of the closet, and the next, there are orange-colored displays at all the stores and everything is pumpkin-flavored. (Not that I’m complaining!) If you, too, have been caught unawares, don’t worry—you’re not alone, and I have a DIY solution!
