Halloween Haute Couture





Just finished... Pretty Pumpkin Patch pants for the girls, a matching purse for their mom, and really creepy skeleton cargo pants for Alex.

The print is a tablecloth border print, that I used as a pumpkin border for the bottom of the pants and the highlight of the purse. The over the shoulder purse is lined with a coordinating 'Boo!' fabric, has a spooky ghost pocket on the interior, and fastens with a magnetic snap, covered in a scary spider button!

Check out the detail on Alex's pants pocket - to coordinate with the skeleton print (Alex only likes 'whole body' skeletons) I used a skull and crossbones accent, which is really 12 pieces in each set! Arrrrrgh, like sewing on 12 buttons per pocket!

Matching Purse


Hot off the press (ok, sewing machine) ... a matching purse for Heather to coordinate with the kids outfits.
