Halloween 2021

For Halloween this year Meredith asked to be She-Ra, and I made a rookie mistake and didn’t buy the costume early… Then when I went to go get it, they were all sold out!!!! So, I found some ideas on Pinterest, and decided I could probably make it.

Well, with some help, I did!!!

Honestly, this headpiece made the costume, and I can’t thank Jen enough for not only 3D printing it for me, but also driving it all the way here and painting it!

I forgot to put her bracers on her for this photo shoot… ugh. There were so many pieces to this costume!

Meredith wasn’t having any of the old-fashioned She-Ra from my childhood, she was all about the newly released Netflix She-Ra.

We spent a good hour in the fabric store picking out just the right stretchy gold fabric and just the right cape material. And even though it isn’t perfect, I was really pretty happy it wasn’t a complete torn to shreds mess once I got it sewn together. I honestly sat and procrastinated/fretted for a few weeks just not sure if I should glue it or sew it…really unsure of how best to get the gold fabric to adhere to the leotard. A straight stitch worked just fine!

And for Halloween, Wallace was the Grim Reaper, and Anna made a couple of costumes. Here she was a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, but on Halloween night she actually was a musician, and carried around her ukulele playing for extra candy, and made out with TONS of candy!!!
