Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
As with the other books in the Singer series, this one offers great step-by-step instructions and detailed color photos that are fairly easy to follow and yield very polished results. Construction comes in three basic styles: tabards, gowns, and full-suit costumes, as well as detailed directions on making various types of headwear, capes, collars, skirts, wings, leggings, and shoe covers. Though the costume ideas are a bit on the ordinary side (pumpkin, spaceman, lion, king and queen, and the like), the terrific instructions can be adapted to unlimited costume designs of your own devising. --Amy Handy

Easy costume sewing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Halloween Costumes (Singer Sewing Reference Library) (Paperback)
This is a great book. The directions were extremely easy to follow and could be easily altered if you wanted something a little different. This book is good for novice as well as advance sewers.
