Sewin’ Like a Villain: A Halloween How-To

October 4, 2014 by AllFreeSewing

Halloween has got to be the best holiday of the year. For one night, you get to be anything you can imagine and no one will even think twice about it. Why not bring out your bad side this year and dress up like a vivacious villain? Get your kids in on it, too, so that you can all be unique as you walk the streets in search of the houses with the best candy. And if you’re looking for easy sewing projects that are also a blast, you can’t beat a DIY Halloween costume.

If you are totally lost for ideas right now, then keep reading. Here are a few tips for picking out a Halloween costume this year:

  • Be creative. No one is going to judge you for going all out!
  • Spin a classic into something modern. Add applique to a cape for a wearable decoration, or make your witch hat have a more steampunk style this time.
  • Try out a theme for the family: movie characters, band members, pieces of candy, animals, etc. What a cute way to match!
  • The whole world does not have to be full of princesses and princes. Everyone loves an adorable bad guy!
  • This is a place for all things sewing; don’t you dare buy that costume in an overpriced store!
