Luckily, they all fit fine. No adjustments necessary!

Knights, mermaids, wizards
I'm sick of tissue lame, but it sure was fun to work on these Halloween costumes for the kids.
Connor is a knight in shining armor. Not sure if you can see the detail when you click the photo bigger, but the designs on the armor are from hand-stitched quilting. It's Simplicity 4944.
Caille is a mermaid. Sequins on the skirt look like scales. The fins are given an extra umph from crinoline. I've never used crinoline before. Made from McCall's 5498.
Chris is a wizard. This costume was the easiest project. After cutting it out, It took about an hour and a half. It's Simplicity 3617.
I'll be going to SA to deliver the costumes personally tomorrow night. Can't wait for the fashion show!
