Here's my dino this morning - </p> [attach=1530/14/neb4r0.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923637 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 06:34:57 +0000 Dandelion 1923637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bought it at Goodwill. It's originally store bought, too. I always think about making their costumes, but then October shows up and I didn't follow through, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923614 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 05:22:32 +0000 Mrs. J 1923614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom made it. It was my costume around his age and then she turned it into a lion for my sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923558 Fri, 31 Oct 2014 01:01:33 +0000 Espion 1923558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: I would love to see your finished hoodie and tail!</p> <p>I decided at the 11th hour (it is 10 pm here) that E would be a dragon with a taco. (As in, Dragons love tacos.) DH is convinced that no one is going to get it. But I figure the fact that we get it is enough, ha! I made him a quick fleece hoodie, tail, dragon wings, and a felt taco. Tomorrow I'm going to make him some fleece pants if I have enough fabric left over and a trick or treat tote that says "Taco Cave". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923496 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:32:17 +0000 BeachMama 1923496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted bought but it wasn't like a packaged costume. I bought ladybug wings and a red/black polka dotted skirt that I'm pairing with a black shirt and pants.</p> <p>My mom made our costumes every year, which is one reason I'd like to learn to sew. I feel like such a cop out when I buy costumes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923481 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 22:23:15 +0000 birdofafeather 1923481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i voted made, but my mom made it! and i guess i should have voted sprinkles because i assembled her other MJ costume. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923382 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 20:48:38 +0000 jedeve 1923382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Other? Lo1 is going as Pail Bunyan but I am just putting him in overalls and flannel from Carter that I had bought anyway. Lo2 is going as Babe. So basically a blue sleeper and hat that I have to figure out how to attach some cardboard horns to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-make-or-buy-your-los-costume#post-1923364 Thu, 30 Oct 2014 20:33:38 +0000 pinkb 1923364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both :) DD will be a black cat, I made a tutu with a tail, little fur cuffs and ears.

I was a bit bummed because I made his from scratch last year and hope to do this again in coming years.
