Joanna\u00a0\u00a0Ford<\/b> not only made up 3 Batty Bats, she took them outside for a daytime flight! Joanna posted a video of her bats twirling happily in the breeze, so go check it out if you’re in our Pattern Fan Club Group on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bat<\/p>\n

Kim Illarietti<\/strong> lives in an area where door-knocking Trick-or-Treating is discouraged this year, so to help make things more fun, she sewed this “Bucket of Boos” to sit on her porch for kids to take. The ghosts all have embroidered faces and some glow in the dark. You’re a generous Funky Friend, Kim!

\"Boo<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

AND 25 Boo Ghosts!!!!
\nI think this may be a record?! <\/span><\/p>\n

Tasha Gammelseter’s daughter committed to making 25 ghosts for a class party\u2026 without telling her mom! The mom and kid team divided up sewing tasks and got them all finished in a week!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Timmy T-rex<\/a><\/strong><\/span> has become “Frankenrex”<\/strong> in this amazing entry by Rebecca Karstad<\/strong>. I love all the tiny details in his “costume” and the fun textures, including that tiny fluff of faux fur hair!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s a super fun collaboration between <\/span>Jo Tracy Tsep<\/b> and her 3-year-old. First, Jo shrunk down the Love Monster Pattern<\/a><\/span><\/strong> to a teeny 25 percent (he works well for this, as his pieces are simple). Next, she sewed up her monster in Halloween fabrics and added a felt pumpkin to his tummy. Finally, Jo’s design consultant insisted this monster needed 3 eyes, and that the third one must be purple. It’s always good to have a partner in creativity!\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
