How to Make Big Felt Bats for Outdoor Halloween Decor

 Hello crafting friends! Tomorrow is October 1st and I'm getting ready to decorate for Halloween this weekend. I love Halloween!  Usually I spend more time decorating the inside of my house than the outside but greeting those trick or treaters with a little fun is important too. Last year I used my free bat pillow pattern to cut out some big felt bats. I hung them up around my garage and I think they turned out so fun that I'm hanging them up again this year. Such an easy way to decorate! Want to make some too? 

Bat Scrunchies

Happy October! I woke up to a fun notification that I sold another Bat Scrunchie on Etsy and I am super excited that it's almost HALLOWEEN!! I think these Bat Scrunchies are a fun addition to a braid or a bun for a little Halloween dress up fun.

DIY Rainbow Unicorn Costume Tutorial for Fabric.com

Hi sewing friends! We are busy getting ready for Halloween over here. I love Halloween! It may be my favorite holiday. I just love all the extra costume sewing I get to do.  Today I'm here to show you a new tutorial I have up on the Fabric.com blog. It's a DIY Rainbow Unicorn Costume tutorial just in time for you to make it for Halloween. It has been a while since I've created a new tutorial so I jumped at the chance to do another costume for Fabric.com this year.  I am super excited about how it turned out!

And isn't my little model the cutest!! With this tutorial you get to make all the accessories to turn a plain white shirt and leggings into a little girls' Rainbow Unicorn dreams come true. The pattern is sized to fit about a 2-4T. A five year old could probably get away with it as well. (my little model here is almost 5). I mean who doesn't want to dress up as a unicorn at that age. 

The tutorial includes instructions and patterns to make a Hood, Skirt, and Hoof cuffs.

The hooves might be my favorite. I love how they repeat the Gold on the horn and really finish off the costume.

For the skirt and the mane I used this amazing tulle. It's new at Fabric.com and comes in a ton of different colors.

The cuffs are made with the awesome gold lame and for the hood I used some Activewear spandex knit.  Both of these fabrics were very easy to sew. 

If you use this tutorial I'd love to see how it turns out!!

Happy Halloween Sewing!!
