What a georgous weekend it was! It was all about "batman" around here though ... for the past three weeks that is! My little guy was soooo into Halloween this year! Mostly the costume, and, thankfully not so much the candy. I started making the costume in early October, and just finished up the day before Halloween! No, I don't have too much time on my hands, do I?
See, batman was everywhere! Those pointed ears and flowing cape.... scary, very scary! The best thing about the costume is that I made it out of a black sweatshirt and sweatpants, then used Wonder-under to iron the batman logo on. The hat was made of polar fleece and I used this "Martha" pattern which, by the way, I plan on making a few more of those hats for him this winter. This pattern is just so cute! Maybe I'll even make one for myself.
And, so starts the giving season around here. I've been looking at a few Etsy shops this weekend, taking notes on gifts ideas. Here are a few I am looking at right now:
I will also have a shop update, finally, by the first week of December, so keep a look out for that. Have a great day!
This is so perfect! My son has been asking for a batman costume - great ideas here! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to peeking in periodically!
