Costume Tutorials

Ages ago I decided to spend less on buying costumes from ebay and instead to spend time making costumes with my sewing machine and a foam cutter etc. I would simply locate all the clothing and trinkets I have piled up around the tiny flat we live in and I would run up hand-made costumes that caused onlookers to gasp and say 'where the hell did you buy that confection?' etc and so forth.
Two snarl ups and some quite dodgy hand made toys that I need to apologise to my godchildren for later and I have a box of recyclable garmets, foam and no new costumes.

So these tutorials are cause for guilt and embarrassment. Maybe one day they will spur me onto actual action. In the meantime, look upon these works, ye mighty, and despair.
