Halloween-The Avatar Gang

I promised the girls I would make them bending costumes for Halloween before I realized it would fall on a Sunday. The costumes were way too much work to just be worn once to our church party, but, luckily, Sage had a school party. Also, they have wanted to wear the costumes every day since.

Halloween-Aang

made from Kona cotton, Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants pattern, and own designs

Halloween-Toph

made from Kona cotton, Scientific Seamstress Easy Fit Pants pattern (shortened and added elastic hem), Habitual Kimono tutorial, and Little Lizard King Vest pattern (unlined, lengthened, added collar, extended center placket, and left side seams unconnected); accessories from own design

Halloween-Katara

made with Kona cotton and Habitual Kimono tutorial (lengthened and added side vents); completely made up (and botched) the water bending bag
