Welcome to October! Time to bust out the pumpkins and all the little ghoulies! October is a fun month for my family, two of my favorite people (my mom and Anne) are downright obsessed with Halloween, and I always try to make it special. Last year I made Anne’s Halloween outfit and I am going to do it again this year and that is my goal, very simple – make Anne’s costume.
Anne wants to be the cat. This will be quite a challenge for me as I still consider myself a beginner at clothes sewing. Tomorrow we will go shopping for our fabrics and notions and Thursday I will get started sewing! Wish me luck!
As we approach the end of the year Shanna and I would love to get some feedback from you on how this year has gone! Please take a couple minutes to fill out our brief survey so we can get ready for Another Lovely Year of Finishes.
Your turn!
What one item will you choose to do for October?
You have two requirements to be entered into the prizes this month.

I made a panda costume from this pattern about a year and a half ago. I have never sewn clothes before. You can do it!
I really am not sure if I should join in since I already failed twice. Oops.
I’m sure good ‘sewing support’ is only a text away 🙂
For some reason, the link to the survey didn’t work for me…
Don’t give up Vera. I failed last month, so I vow to finish this month. I’ll link up with pictures soon.
OH, she is going to be so cute!
My post will go up while I’m away teaching, but I’m hoping there’s wifi so I can link up. If not, imagine I’m in 😉
Don’t give up Vera,it has been hard for me to finish lately too! But any and all progress puts us that much closer to a finish 🙂
Super cute costume Melissa,of course she will be adorable no matter what costume she picks! Good luck!
