Now that fall is upon us, we need to prepare for the next season of craziness and get in the spirit of this season. I sew costumes for the theatre and when walking through our wardrobe rows many of the costumes have been rented out for this season. But many of us can go to our own closets and turn our that costume for this event with not too much effort, my favorite is the hippy of the sixties bell bottom pants and a poncho with my hair tied up in pony tails.  This may not be your favorite so reflect on the eras past and let’s try to recycle this year and check our closets and add the finer details to become that pirate or witch in her house coat. I no longer have children under my roof but was able in the past to adapt some items from our closets with a few fixings to create a costume for the children.   Check out the web sites and other catalogs for looks that would work for you and get busy early so you are right on time with that great costume.
