Do your kids know what they want to be for Halloween?
Ian, for some reason, wants to be the Scream guy.

I make the kids pick early so I can make the costumes as needed.
Alex (9) wants to be Donkey Kong, Nathan (7) I talked into Jack Sparrow since he has the hat/wig and sword, Luke (almost 4) want to be a person from Tron, and I picked Patrick Star (from Sponge Bob) for JT.
I'm most of the way done with Alex and JTs. Nathan I still need to make the vest and shirt and Luke I'm just painting glow in the dark designs on a black turtleneck and black pants.

You have to post a photo of your little sock monkey! How long do you think it will take you to make the costume?

I normally don't sew much except baby blankets for shower gifts and the occasional repair but I've always looked forward to making my kids' Halloween costumes. My mom taught me to sew when I was a kid and I did a lot of sewing for 4-H projects. I see myself sewing a lot more now though. I did get my machine un-jammed so I guess I'd better take advantage of nap time and go finish sewing the cuffs on! :) I'll get pics up as soon as I can!

Done!! Here's my little guy's sock monkey costume. I found the hat on Etsy and made the rest. I'm feeling pretty full of myself right now! Its been a long time (like 15 years) since I made anything so ambitious. First zipper I've ever done too! Turns out it wasn't too hard. I had to take the sleeves off cause I put them on upside down (not paying attention) but other than that, between youtube videos and inspecting pajamas that he already has, it was actually not too difficult. The tail is just safety pinned on so that it will be easily removable when this outfit becomes pajamas after Halloween.
