My mom is one of those amazing mothers who sewed elaborate, handmade Halloween costumes for my brothers and me every year when we were little. I don't know how she found the time to do it, but she always did....even though we probably would have been perfectly content with store-bought costumes. While I'll never have my Mom's talent (or patience!) with a thread and needle, I hope to one day be a crafty mom who can whip up clever costumes like these for my little goblins. It's never too early to start brainstorming, right?
