Halloween costume sewing patterns

Last year I hosted an online blog tour, asking some of my favorite bloggers to use their normal PDF sewing patterns and add a twist so they worked as Halloween costume sewing patterns! The creativity was AWESOME, I loved seeing all of the different ideas and styles. There were *so* many talented bloggers, and I thought I’d group all the ideas together for a recap this year.
