<<<--- Here is Avery in his Musketeer outfit. He decided to be D'Artagnon after seeing the Disney movie. I didn't make the hat, but I made the tabard and the cape. Neither is perfect to a sewer's eyes, but it turned out great as far as I'm concerned! I had to do my first applique around a fleur-de-lis shape, but I actually managed not to pull out all my hair. The black and maroon fabric are polyester pseudo-suede, so I had to sew carefully because any holes made stayed forever. The cape lining was lame (as in la-may, I don't have the accented E) so very slippery to work with, but it didn't kill me either. *grin*
The upper pumpkin is Avery's bug-eyed pumpkin and mine is the ghostie in front. We put them on the front steps to our house along with various skeletons and big spiders. You can also see the boys enjoying the spoils of about six houses that actually were home to answer their doors. Avery wanted to go home after visiting one friend and going around the block. Measly by my standards, but Avery had a great time - and was great at sharing with Curran too! Happy Halloween!

mon petite duetist, Vous paraissez merveilleux.
And the bug eyes... ooooh scary!
Worry not, Stacia, they will soon learn to hunt for bags of candy that will long turn stale before they can possibly eat it all. Enjoy the meager hall as it may well be the last.
Oh my goodness he is the perfect D'artangnan! And I can just imagine Curran running around with the googly eyes on, proudly giggling and full of silly energy.
What fun!
You did a wonderful job on the costume my sister- it reminds me of the tree skirt you made for me *grins*
The boys are awefuly cute and looks like Avery had a...um...successful Halloween? I think you will teach him about the long trecks we had to go on to even get to the next house, lol.
Oh... I forgot to say - Go You! on the sewing front! Lame is NOT easy to work with!
