I broke out the sewing machine for the first time in forever to make these two cuties costumes for Halloween.  They each picked the fabric they wanted/mom could afford at Walmart and the trim and accents.  I used a really simple tutorial found here and were able to make them rather quickly.  It was a lot of fun creating again and I'm inspired to do more crafting for my home and family! 
They will get a lot of us!  Thea used hers as a Queen Ester costume for AWANA tonight and Mareea will wear hers to preschool this week.  They both wore them to the Chapel's Harvest party, too.  I promised to put makeup on them for Halloween so they can look like "real" maidens.  Technically I think that Thea is Queen Guinevere and Mareea is Elaine (Lancelot's wife).  Check out these books for some seriously beautiful illustrations of King Arthur and his knights. 
The girls are so excited about them and it just gives me so much joy to bless them in this way.  I give God the glory for helping me to find the time to make them.
