DIY Halloween - Comic-Con 2015

Life isn't all fashion for me. I am a mom of 2 boys…soon to be 3 hence the baby bump and my sewing life can get pretty interesting. This year the boys wanted to be Friday Night at Freddy's characters, a "horror video game where the player must act as a night security guard, defending themselves from the malfunctioning animatronic animal characters by tracking their movement through the facility using security cameras." The game is pretty popular amongst the school students here, but such costumes don't exist. Therefore, I did what most normal moms would do and made them… ;)

Now as much as I'd love to wear my Carrie Bradshaw costume every year, being 7 months pregnant and a mom of boys this doesn't work well. With the baby bump large at this point I decided a pokeball would be the perfect costume, adding a pocket for stuffed Pikachu to poke in and out. Who doesn't love Pokemon still? 

 Pokeball baby bump. I used felt and added an interior pocket for stuffed pikachu to come in and out.

I even DIYed the pikachu stuffed toy. 

 Foxy and Bonnie from Five Nights at Freddy's. We made the costumes head to toe using wire hangers for the ears.  Even pulled off the masks which were felt and new shoe inserts…

The scariest costumes I've ever seen…or made. 

Here are a couple of other favorites below (Updated):

As Maleficent. 

My youngest as Edward Scissorhands I made for Louis who was the baby above. 

And another for my little one who LOVES Mcdonald's happy meals and clowns! A Ronald Mcdonald costume. For me I always wanted to be a "poodle girl" for Halloween even as a child so I finally made myself a "Sock Hop Sweetheart" costume.
