I can sew. Nothing fancy or complicated, but I can sew. I can also read a pattern thanks to Miss Eppinger in Grade 8 Home Economics. Once upon a time, I spied a great book in the bargain bin at (I admit it) Wal Mart. I had visions of crafting Halloween costumes for the girls for years to come. It sat on our shelf, moved to Trail with us and now, 5 years later, I endeavoured to make my little Maya a "bat hat" that she spied in there. Piece of cake, right? The book did come with a"Full-Sized Pattern Sheet" after all. The singular "sheet" should have alerted me to the fact that there might be more than one pattern on a page. I was not prepared for what I saw when I opened that sheet...
Holy smokes! I found the pattern, highlighted it, but still had to tape it to my kitchen ceiling flourescents to trace it out. The directions were simple enough, though, and my little bat looked just as cute as a bat can be - see for yourself!
The witch was store-bought this year as I couldn't have bought the fabric for the price we got the costume for. She was a beautiful witch, if I do say so myself...
