DIY Marge Simpson Costume

November 11, 2016June 27, 2017 Dani Malloy9 Comments

It’s not about making every single piece of your costume. It’s about putting in the effort. It’s about giving a damn. And boy do I give a damn when it comes to Halloween! Here’s how I put together my version of the matriarch of the century, Marge Simpson.

It finally happened: A matching outfit for Cora and me. 🐕 👩🏻 👚 👚 I used the leftover @girlcharlee French terry knit from my #lindensweatshirt to copy a Reddy-brand sweater we bought awhile back for Cora. It fits great but sadly she despises wearing clothes, maybe you can tell from the pics? 😂 But when it’s single digits girl’s gotta have an extra layer. 🥶 #isew #sewingfordogs #dogsweater #handmade #muttsofinstagram #ilovemydog
A super quick @grainlinestudio Linden Sweatshirt was necessary after finishing a mini quilt! I realized I hadn’t made one of these since I got my serger, which was over three years ago I think?? This came together in an afternoon 🙌🏻 I cut a size 8 and added 2.5” length to the body and 1.5” to the sleeves (I’m 6ft tall with a long torso for reference). I bought this French terry tie dye knit from @girlcharlee with every intention of making some lounge pants or joggers, but it screamed “SWEATSHIRT” when i opened the package so here we are. I finished the neckline with some cream ribbing from my stash and cut the sleeve and hem bands on the opposite grain for some visual interest. #sewing #isewmyownclothes #isew #sewingknits #grainlinelinden #grainlinestudio #lindensweatshirt #tiedye #sewcialists #loungewear #sewingtall
Mini quilt complete! I have so much respect for quilters now that I’m dipping my toes in. Yes, it’s a “mini” quilt, but it still takes.... a long time! So many seams! So much pressing! But I love how this scrap-busting project turned out. (Literally everything was from my stash, woot woot!) I used the Simply Solid pinwheel tutorial from allpeoplequilt.com — clearly I didn’t stick simply to solids. 😇
FREE patterns that fit are such a joy! Got around to sewing the Monroe Turtleneck from @tessutifabrics — this one comes in three different sizes. I made size 2 and added an inch of length at the lengthen line. As you can see this knit T-shirt fabric is practically sheer so I’m calling this a very wearable house muslin/layering piece. I love the drape i get with this fabric but would love to try it in a more stable knit.
