The collaborative effort of Halloween experts and enthusiasts

From traditional favorites such as Wonder Woman or Peter Pan, to more eyebrow raising unique costumes like the One Night Stand the costumegoer appears as an actual stand with lampshade over the head, bra and pantyhouse dangling on the tablecloth or the Green Card wearing a large green sandwich board humorously displaying a parody what a real green card looks like . Black and white photographs illustrate fun, zany, sometimes edgy ideas with practical suggestions to efficiently and frugally make a Halloween guise to remember.

Especially recommended not only for Halloween, but as a source of ideas for parties year round or even school and community theater apparel. …

Our family has known Ms. Cleeland for many years, in fact she dressed our son in her costumes and he always won first place. You will so enjoy all her ideas, but most of all you will find her costumes simple to make. You will have bunches of fun making the costumes but most of all your kids will love wearing them
My little boy loved this party game and is looking forward to building the racing boat this halloween. There are enough good designs that I think we’ll be able to use it for years. Most of the instructions look easy enough to follow, with only a few minor exceptions. I don’t have a girl, but some of the little girl costumes were the cutest.Anyways, I think this party game is perfect for anyone with a kid that is 5 13 years old and is interested in making their own costumes for Halloween.
Some of the costumes in this party game are corny, cheesy, and just plain boring BUT there are some fun, creative ideas. There are no real big instruction lists but they are good id …

I’m not getting married, but this party game

I’ve leafed through her Hollywood Knits and Home Knits party game s and THEY seem pretty boring. I’ve been in her store several times and these knits are totally her style. She’s European, so if chunky Confetti novelty yarns are your style, of course you’ll hate it. It’s mostly fine knits created from subtly colored luxury blend yarns using alpaca, mohair, cotton and viscose. It’s kind of lame that all the yarns used are from her personal SUSS line, but yardages and material contents are given so that you can make appropriate substitutions. I plan on using different high end yarns with the patterns to give them a little OOMPH.

The designs are unique and classic enough to wear for a long time without being too trendy, so they are worth investing time and money into. I tried the Bridesmaid Wrap sweater on in her store and it’s WAY nicer than shown in the party game . It needs to be worn off the shoulders, wrapped around and tied or belted so the ends hand loose over jeans. The styles …

I was very disappointed with this party game

Instead I found very plain, boring patterns of stocking stitch, with some ribbing and feather and fan nothing above the level of beginner. These are the type of patterns that you can download for free from Lion Brand’s website. Some of the ideas like the wedding veil would be beautiful in a vintage lace pattern instead it is plain stocking stitch boring and tacky. These designs are a waste of nice yarn and good photogrpahy.
Has a variety of projects for the wedding and bride. I found just what I needed and more. …

Colourful and bright illustrations and simple texts appeal tremendously to the preschooler.
