The Devil's Daughter

Pasha is going to the Teen Center's Halloween Party tonight! After much deliberation she decided that this year she wants to be the Devil's daughter. I was brainstorming with her on how we she would look like and she wanted it simple yet playful! 

So I bought two cheap t-shirts (black and red) from C&A. I cut the the red one apart and placed the front piece under the black shirt. 

Then I wrote "Daddy's Little" and drew a devil on the front of the t-shirt. I sewed around it by hand and cut away the black part.

Here is a closer look!

That's six hours worth of work :-)

I took the back of the red shirt and sewed (freehand) the devil's tail. That is being pinned on her black jeans with a safety pin.

I got her a pitch fork, some little devil's horns and some skull elastics to round this all out.

And this is how she looks all dressed up!

It is such a simple costume. She debated about going with a store bought costume but really wanted this one. I spent Euro 17 on the horns and the two t-shirts and 13 dollars on the pitch fork and the hair bands. I think, no, I know that a purchased costume from the P.X would have been about $20. But I prefer the hand made one! She put some thought in it instead of letting someone do it for her! I love it when she is creative!

Are you going trick-or-treating this year?

Take care,

Me

P.S. I messed up on the hand sewing. I don't think the t-shirt is going to last very long because I forgot to tie a knot at the beginning of each thread! Oh well, it's just a costume! But this gives me more ideas. Just look up images on google from "Alabama Chanin". It will blow your mind....
