Children’s Halloween Costumes
For me, Halloween is my second or third favorite holiday of the year. When I was a kid, most of my costumes were homemade since my Mom sewed. There is nothing like the quality of a hand sewed costume! A vast majority of the costumes are now purchased rather than made at home since people’s lives have become so much busier since I was little.
As I’ve mentioned before the most popular search is Boots the Monkey, but commercially made Boots costumes are hard to find. I’ve seen some on eBay, and there is a link at the bottom of the Boots the Monkey page to a site where the woman who runs the site offers handmade Boots and Swiper the Fox costumes. Time is probably short to order a custom made costume.
I suspect there will be a lot of Jack Sparrow’s knocking on the door this Halloween. There are lots of people also looking for Strawberry Shortcake costumes, so I’ll see if I can locate a source for both of them. I’ll not only make a trip to the local seasonal Halloween stores, but traditional year-around costume shops to see what I can find.
I’ll report what I find!
