This is a guest post I did for Crafting Con. Bringing it home for Halloween! ***** Hello! I am Stacy and I blog at Stylin’ Stacy. The costumes I tend to make these days are centered around cosplay characters. They serve dual purposes as my kids wear them to a convention in the spring and […]
My daughter needed a new top to wear for our family pictures, too, right?? Of course, she did. I drew the horse out during one of the kids’ games, and I knew she would want it on a shirt. I transferred it to a digital format, and cut it out with the Silhouette. See the […]

Final pictures of the costumes at the local Renaissance Faire.
This costume has been an agony of time in getting it finished. I have not had the time I would have liked to devote to all of the details in making it. I feel bad that I didn’t get their swords done for the Geralt and Ciri costumes, but something’s gotta give, Man. Momma works […]
