Week 42: Halloween Blog Tour

Happy October! Today I get to be lucky enough to be a part of the DIY Halloween Sewing tour.

This year I decided out of the couple of tours I am participating that I was going to make me a priority and actually dress up. I’m not sure if I have seriously dressed up since I was pregant with Baby Bear.

So I asked my children what should I be for Halloween, Baby Bear said a princess and Sweet Pea said a purple witch (go figure 😂).

After look through and discarding tons of ideas, I had a testing opportunity that helped me make the decision!

When the All Hallows Eve Hat from Eunoia Patterns (formerly Karrington Paige Patterns) came across my app, I knew it was fate for me to finally be the witch I always wanted to be.

About the pattern maker and pattern itself, is offered free on the Eunoia Patterns page. Eunoia means beautiful thinking, and I love Shannon coined the phrase “Sewing patterns to inspire your beautiful thinking.” Shannon has an amazing design team working with her to create a beautiful catalog for a variety of styles. As for the All Hallows Eve Hat- it comes with sizing for toddler to adult, comes with a 26 page instruction book, plus mouse ear and bow instructions and svg files to make your ultimate witch hat.

Off I went to Joann fabrics to find the perfect accessories.

I may have gone a tad overboard but hey go big or go home, right?

The instructions were easy to follow and the only place I really struggled was with the clamping off the metal wire at the end AND figuring out how to place my accoutrement😂

After I got to this point, I stuffed the hat so I could figure out the other placement of accessories. I will say next time I am going to accessorize before putting the wire in and stitching the bias tape closed.

I hand stitched everything and I probably should have hot glued some of the accessories on but honestly I couldn’t find my glue gun.

I went through my closet found a coat I held on to from my club kid days and off I went to cast some spells.

I can’t wait to wear my costume for Halloween!

I'm just a mom that sews. Affectionately called Lala, I sew custom dresses and do lots of pattern testing and this is the space my crafty projects are going to land. I started the blog last year with a focus on the 2018 52 week sewing challenge. I ended the year with 31- 52 sewing week challenge posts completed plus 17 -blog tours, putting me just shy of posting 52 posts for the year. This year my focus will change as I am working on learning new techniques and sewing specifically for my tall, plus sized body and my husband. I want to focus on both casual and couture looks with vintage inspiration. I may post all 52 week challenge topics or I may choose to post weekly progress on my adventures in sewing tailored clothing for me, who knows but join me on my sewing adventure and lets make it sew! The Bear and Pea Atelier recognizes the region we reside and operate (the South Saint Paul/Twin Cities Region) occupies the ancestral home of the Wahpekute and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ, who have persisted here in Minnesota from before recorded history to the present day. The Bear and Pea Atelier exists upon lands ceded from the Wahpekute and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ Tribe. We acknowledge this land we stand upon today as sacred, historical, and significant to the Wahpekute and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ Nations, as are the lands of all First Nations People.
