This year for Halloween we went with a Peter Pan motif, despite Steve's request to all be sports stars, as he requests every year. I started making costumes at the end of August and worked on them off and on until last weekend which was our debut at the ward trunk-or-treat. I ditched the last few minor items I had planned to make due to costume burnout. I love making costumes, but I'm glad Halloween comes but once a year. I'm also very glad Steve plays along and lets me dress him up however I please. mostly. His costume took the longest by far but it was well worth it!
Here is what I used to make the costumes:
PETER PAN: McCalls M4952 as a starting point. Lengthened it and modified the sleeves to make them not puffy. Hat using this pattern and shoe covers using this tutorial. Tights from eBay.
TINKERBELL: Simplicity 2559, this diaper cover pattern, and wings that velcro on the back using a youtube tutorial. wand from a birthday party.
CAPTAIN HOOK: Simplicity 2333 for the jacket, wrist ruffles, jabot, and hat. Hook from Hobby Lobby Christmas decor
WENDY: Simplicity 4055

Beautiful costumes!! You take such great pics of the kiddoes - they will really treasure these moments when they are grown. As for Steve, I'm sure he secretly loves being Hook - LOL!
Everyone at the Area Office has enjoyed seeing the picture of your family dressed up for Halloween! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talents with us and for all that you do to create wonderful memories for your family!!
where did you get your wendy costume?
Did you have to modify the neckline for your Wendy costume? Or was the pattern modest enough by itself? The pictures on the pattern look borderline so I thought I'd check :)
