Halloween & Mendocino

Halloween was great yesterday! Gweniveve is obsessed with The Little Mermaid (which I love since it is my favorite Disney princess) so of course her costume would be easy.

Isn't the wig awesome? My MIL got it for Gwen at DisneyWorld.



She is getting so grown up!



My Mom had made an awesome Candy Corn costume for Gwen in 2008 so we thought it would be perfect for Penelope to use it. Might as well get another use out of it, plus it is adorable.



I wanted to compare the two in the costume so the top row is Gwen and the bottom row is Penelope.



The girls and I. I was looking at my FIL since he was taking pictures to.



Well it turns out that Gwen is dying for me to make her a Mermaid quilt and has been asking for one for a couple of months now so I have decided to try to get as much of Heather Ross Mendocino fabrics as I can to make her a quilt. I am putting this out there since some of you might have some that you are will to part with and swap with me?!?!?! Pretty Please.

I only have a FQ of swimming sisters on white with aqua octopus seen here.

Thanks everyone and I hope that you had an awesome Halloween!

Sewing for the girls

I am making or should I say attempting to make the girls a shirt for our family pictures this weekend. This is my first time making sleeves. Gweniveve picked out this print from Park Slope since blue is her favorite color. I am using a print from Farmdale for Penelope's.



I made the hat & collar to complete the elephant costime transformation into Dumbo for Gweniveve for Halloween. It turned out great except as you can see I made the hat really large. Hats are hard to decide on the right size.



We had tons of fun trick or treating even though it seemed like the girls were the only ones out. Penelope was a flower gnome which we thought was just to cute not to buy so I didn't end up making her anything for Halloween.



I hope you all had a great Halloween!
