Hello Pumpkins!
First, my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you on the
East Coast while you deal with clean up and recovery from Hurricane Sandy. I
have been delighted that several of my beloved blogger friends made it through safely.
There has been some sewing going on in Casa Awesome, but not
much to show right now other than some wadders (but I may take some pictures of
those for your guys). Every Halloween we have a costume contest at work and
this year I decided to channel my inner crafty side to whip together a little
something to participate. First the inspiration photo.
I was glued to the Olympics
this year and with my fellow countryman setting records all over the place he
was the perfect costume! I started out with a tutorial from This Mama MakesStuff to put together the three gold medals.
Then I used the Fit Nice Sew Slim System
(review on the pattern and workshop I took to come in a separate post) to whip
up a race tee complete with decals using iron on transfer (love that stuff!).
I
added black shorts and sneakers for an almost complete look. To seal the deal
and hopefully the grand prize I added a homemade flag so that my victory lap
around the office would be complete!
And there you have it. My coworkers and I were all smiles for the cameras.
Hope you all have a safe and happy Halloween!!!
