Halloween will soon be here and it is definitely time to start thinking about our Halloween costumes.  I prefer making my own costumes simply because I prefer originality.  I enjoy having a unique costume and design that really is all my own.

Many sewing patterns give us multiple options and, of course, we choose our own fabric and embellishments.  I especially like historical costumes.

These are a few of the gorgeous patterns available today.  This beautiful renaissance dress is definitely a costume you could wear multiple times.  It will never truly be outdated.

Moving to a later time in history, you may prefer this lovely Victorian style often associated with the American Civil War period.
