Little Red

Charlotte's costume is DONE!  And I had three whole days to spare!  Not too shabby.  I imagine one of these years I'll be at the sewing machine at 10pm the night before Halloween ...

 
The cape is made from Kona cotton in Tomato Red using a McCall's pattern, and that sweet little dress is made using fabric designed by Tasha Noel of A Little Sweetness.  Isn't it adorable!?  She teamed up with Leila and Ben to create a dress kit using her fabrics and their patterns.  It was super simple to sew and fits Charlotte perfectly.

I picked up this basket at World Market for under $5.  I already had the red polkadot fabric in my stash, and the ribbon was leftover from the ties on the hooded cloak.  This no-sew basket liner was fast and easy to make.  I just cut out a large oval of fabric, loosely arranged it in the basket, glued around the lip of the basket with a hot glue gun, then glued on a strip of ribbon to hide the edges.

 
I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!  I know we will!

P.S.  Madison is going to be a witch.  Her costume is black and orange and sparkly.  No, I didn't make it!  Pics to come later.
