Christmas Presents

Very excited that Paul and I just finished the Doctor Octopus and Electro costumes that my nephews requested for Christmas presents.
*** We do Christmas late at my house, since I live so very far away and don't get vacation from November until end of January.***


They came out very cute.


The other costumes asked for were Joker and Riddler. We ordered a Joker (easier and just as good as I could make) but I am still waiting on the green blazer for the Riddler. I have cut out 45 question marks to be ironed on and Paul made a great question mark cane.


I am having so much fun with these!


I have been told I should do this as a side gig and sell them, the only thing is, I don't know if I can sell costumes that I don't create all myself. Many parts are ordered an pieced together. For instance, the Electro suit is actually a green ranger costume, I just attached all the details and made the mask. But I do enjoy doing this for fun ^^



Maybe if I work on my sewing and get a better machine I can make more myself. It is just too easy to order already made components and saves me a lot of work.
