After 9 years of contemplating sewing real costumes for my children, I finally did it this year!

Every year, around that time when pumpkin patches appear, I'd have the urge to pop into a craft store to gawk at sewing machines, only to heave a sigh at the price tags and talk myself out of buying one because "I would never really use a sewing machine."

A few months ago, a wonderful friend gave me her old Brother machine. Thanks to this generous gift and what little technique I could recall from a single junior high sewing class, this Halloween my daughter proudly wore a Hogwarts uniform, handmade by her even prouder mommy. I even made messenger-style trick-or-treat bags for both of my children.

Considering that a few years ago, my costuming tool of choice was a Swingline stapler, I've come a long way!
