I mentioned last month that I was hoping to make a Yoda costume for my daughter Pearl, and yay, I finished it! I wrote it up as a tutorial for CRAFT: as part of their big Halloween round-up.
This is a super easy project to do if you sew — I finished it within a week. My favorite parts to make were the hat (I used Heather Mann‘s tutorial and actually made a little set of three in different sizes),
and the snake.
Please let me know if you make a Yoda costume too, I’d love to see it!
If you’re looking for a Halloween costume that is just obscure enough, then discomeat at craftster has got one for you! This is her husband dressed in the Brak Costume she made him for a costume contest. Anybody can pull of a Space Ghost costume, but I think you’ve got to have a certain “I don’t-know-what” to pull of Brak.
Alexa Westerfield shares a tutorial on her blog, The Swell Life, to make these bloody pumpkins. I love the vampire bite.
Wow – check out these great crocheted monster eyes slippers! I love them – too bad my wife can’t make me some (she lacks the skillz).

These Nightmare Before Christmas costumes are so cool I let out a string of expletives when I saw them on Craftster. Suzhy made these Jack Skellington and Sally costumes for her sister and herself to wear to the Elf Fantasy Fair in The Netherlands. Definitely click through to see more photos and read all about how she made these. The only part she didn’t make herself was Jack’s gloves!
