Halloween Costume Round Up!

We have written many posts on Halloween and costumes over the years! So today I am going to just round up these posts so you can revisit them all, get ideas and inspiration, and get to work on your (or someone else's) fabulous costume.

First, we have a detailed tutorial on making a witches hat. Which is perfect to pair with our 207 Kinsale Cloak (or 208 Child's Kinsale Cloak). We show you how we made the cloak for a child's costume (and decorations) here. And make the cloak even spookier with this tutorial on adding bats, a ruff, and a magic wand to the cloak!

Turn the 213 Child's Prairie Dress into a very cute witch's costume (also perfect for Harry Potter robes).

Dressing up as a character from Outlander? We have you covered in this blog post!

Want to make a great costume from the 1950s? The poodle skirt from our 256 At the Hop pattern is great for a blank canvas for design, as this blog post shows you.

Recently, we put together a list of Phryne Fisher costume ideas. She has constantly been an inspiration to many Folkwear fans (and we love her too!). You can see all the ideas for a costume with our patterns here.
