The Costume Chronicles, Part 9, 10, & 11

after finishing all the other costumes i had on my agenda, i was left with a very large problem. what should i make for MY kids? for as old as they are, they are pretty good about letting me do most of the deciding on halloween costumes. (except the 'chipettes'. . . they have wanted to be the chipettes for the last several years. ummmm. . . no, thank you!) so, here we are. down to the last few days, three costumes to make and we finally agreed upon. . .

(source)

fairies.  specifically, tinkerbell and friends.  even more specifically, tinkerbell and her newest friend, periwinkle from the new movie "secret of the wings." 

and let me tell you, it took every second i could find in those three days to get these costumes done!  whew! 

The Fairies


we made dresses, wigs, slippers, feathers, accessories and wings!  oh, those fairy wings. . .  there were many different tutorials i found for fairy wings, but the one i ended up using was simply amazing.

this is what her wings looked like:


can you believe someone MADE those?  and then told us all how to make our own?  stunning!

you can find the tutorial here.

mine didn't turn out as fantastic. . . but i liked them-- despite the two hours they each took and the fact that during our halloween activities i had to 'unsquish' them every two minutes.  . .


to sell 335640


they were made with layers of tulle, ribbon and sparkly fabric.  then i used silver thread and did a satin stitch (is that what it is called?) over the top of wire.  yes, in swirls!

and this one's costume?

Periwinkle


it also has wired running throughout it to make the edges turn up like real leaves. 

to sell 335672


and after all the hours creating these costumes, my favorite part ended up being the little slippers-- by far the easiest part of the entire process!

okay, so now you get a little picture overload.

Silvermist
Tinker BellTink and PeriwinkleSilvermist and Periwinkle

i am starting to think my girls are getting a little spoiled when it comes to halloween costumes.  they feel it is their 'duty' to make sure that each and every detail is exactly as it should be while i am doing the constructing.  maybe i should make them wear store bought costumes next year-- what do you think?

hmmmm. . .

nah!  what would i do for the entire month of october?  ;0)


and with that, i wish you a

'FAIRY'

Happy Halloween!

I LOVE the Tinkerbell Winter Woods Jacket. My daughter really loves the new Secret of the Wings movie and I would love to make her one of these. Did you use a pattern or could you provide me with some sort of starting point? I have been sewing for years, I just tend to do better with a tutorial or pattern.

Thank you!

Just another person wondering about patterns. My 2 year old daughter says the Tinkerbell dress up clothes in the store aren't right. She says they just have her face and Tinkerbell does not wear her face on her clothes. "She wears a beautiful green jacket with white fluffies and green boots." And that is what she wants for Christmas. A coat like Tinkerbell! Oh my!

Would you be willing to provide a tutorial or sell a pattern for the Periwinkle costume. I already have a little tutu dress whipped up for my 20 month old to be Tinkerbell... but my 5 year old is DYING to be periwinkle. This is the most accurate costume I've seen! Publishing from my google account but email address is aubrey dot kinnaman at gmail dot com.

Aubrey Kinnaman said...

Or do you have an etsy store from which I could purchase?

Unknown said...

I have been trying to find a Periwinkle costume for my 5 year old . Even the cheapy-pre-made ones are sold out and I can't find a pattern either. Yours looks fantastic! The best one I have seen. Would you consider emailing me the pattern? I would really appreciate it.

Leesha said...

These are amazing! My daughter is all about Tinkerbell right now & I figured making her winter coat outfit for Halloween would be best for us up here in Michigan. My daughter is only one, but if you could send me a pattern or any ideas that would be great! I'm not exactly a beginner, but it's been quite a while since I've attempted an actual outfit. Thank you so much!

Is there a quick easy way to make the coat? I don't sew and am a novice at making costumes.

Or do you have an etsy store where i can buy the full costume? kara.floresca@yahoo.com
