The Three Musketeers (Barbie style)

And here they are. . . finally finished! The seven-pieced Halloween costumes. Whew! That was a lot of work. And, on about the 12th of October, I volunteered to make the same costumes for a friend's three daughters. Fun times!

First, here is a look at my inspiration:

And my little musketeers:

The boots are made from duct tape-- it is awesome to work with and fairly durable. I was inspired by this tutorial. The hats ended up turning out pretty well, after several trial and errors! ;0) They were made with very stiff fusible interfacing. I love how they turned out, but I hope not to make another for at least a year.

All in all, a successful Halloween. . . Next year I definitely need to start earlier!
