Halloween Costume Contest 2014

Super Stitcher : The Sewing Superhero

This year, I was inspired by our sewing community to be a sewing superhero, because sewing is really a superpower.

I started off sewing a basic dress made from black and white fabric that has sewing and crafting words on it.

Then I made the sewing machine burst to put on my chest. I had a piece of fabric that has sewing machines on it, i cut out one square, interfaced it and stitched it to some felt.

I made the tool belt by sewing elastic loops to an old bed and then putting some of my favorite sewing tools in them. The headband was made by glueing some thread, a button and a mini sewing machine to a gold headband.

For the pin cushion wristbands, I first made some pincusions out of felt, and then stitched then to the gold writstbands, I cut out of gold felt. 

Every superhero needs a cape, I made mine out of felt, cut out a sewing machine shape and stitched it on, and topped it off with some gold glitter glue. I wrote some sewing actions, such as BASTE, RIP, and PRESS! Etc…

I even made a sidekick costume for my dog, he’s a spool of thread! 

hope you enjoy! please check out my blog for more! ErikaMadeIt
