{A Homemade Halloween: Pin Cushion}

October 30, 2020 by kelerr

I was so excited when I found out we were still having our work Halloween costume competition this year. As usual, I had a plan. I had already decided last year that I was going solo this year, so learning that there would be no group costumes was no problem for me. I was going rogue and solo and perfectly on brand for me as… a Pin Cushion! For added fun, I decided to also include a measuring tape scarf […]

{A Homemade Halloween: The Price is Right}

November 8, 2019 by kelerr

People believe that I am super into Halloween, when in reality I am just super into costumes. Thus, whenever my work Halloween costume competition comes around, I like to go all out. This year I used an idea I’ve had brewing for a couple of years now, but for whatever reason changed at the last minute. However, it was finally time. I wanted my Most Creative Costume title back, so I knew I had to bring out the big guns. […]

{A Homemade Halloween, Part Two: Awkward Family Photo}

October 30, 2019 by kelerr

Note: This is a repost from 2016, and it’s the last one before this year’s Halloween post! As usual, the wheels for this year’s work Halloween costume started turning just as soon as we retired last year’s most creative winning design.  After the infamous Barbie & Ken costume of 2011, I have a reputation and a standard to uphold.  In the five years since, I have won Most Creative three times.  Twice I didn’t win because our Halloween was cancelled […]

{A Homemade Halloween, Part One: Rosie the Riveter}

October 22, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is the next post in a series of reposts about my various homemade Halloween costumes.  This one was originally posted back in 2016, and was for a Halloween party.  This will be the first of the two posts from that year. I had the pleasure of making not one but two awesome homemade Halloween costumes this year.  The first was my costume for a Halloween party my cousin was throwing.  As soon as I heard about it I […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Clue (Workplace Edition)}

October 15, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from 2015, so keep that in mind while you are reading as I didn’t make any changes to the original content and may make reference to various things that are out of date.  I am continuing my series of reposting various old handmade Halloween costumes until this year’s Halloween costume makes it’s debut. It’s that time of year again, and planning has been underway since August.  This year’s costume plan had some small twists and […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Villain and Damsel}

October 8, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from 2013, so keep that in mind while you are reading as I didn’t make any changes to the original content and may make reference to various things that are out of date.  I am continuing my series of reposting various old handmade Halloween costumes until this year’s Halloween costume makes it’s debut. This SHOULD have been the third year in a row that my friend Steve and I created one of our now infamous […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Pirate Snow Globes}

September 27, 2019 by kelerr

Note/Disclaimer: This is another repost of an old Halloween costume.   This was originally posted in 2013, a year after I was supposed to actually use this costume, but because of Hurricane Sandy, work was cancelled on Halloween and this costume never saw the light of day. However, the post was written as though it did. It’s that time of year again, and I’m starting to put together my Homemade Halloween post. This year, the costume needed to be bigger […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Barbie and Ken}

September 24, 2019 by kelerr

NOTE: This is a repost from 2011. Partially because my busy schedule doesn’t allow for as much sewing time as I want and it was rough to come up with something to post for today, and partially because we’re about five weeks from my next Homemade Halloween post (costume top secret until then!). This is one of my proudest accomplishments. So I thought it would be fun to revisit the Halloween posts that probably got buried in the archives! Every […]

{A Homemade Halloween: Stick Figure Stickers}

October 31, 2017 by kelerr

This year’s work Halloween costume was a process.  Well, not to make but to decide on.  I threw around a ton of ideas before finally deciding on the final verdict: stick figures!  The twist came to me a couple of weeks later when I decided we would be those stick figure people that are on the back windshields of cars. I’m going to be honest here and say that I really didn’t get to this costume until the last possible […]
