Halloween 2017, M&M's

I LOVE Halloween. The costumes, decorations and of course the candy! (I am a bit of a chocoholic.)

Unfortunately, this year I don't have the time to dedicate to bigger, fancier costumes. Between weekly gymnastic meets and managing the Simply By Ti Fabric Shop, my sewing AND blogging time are more limited. While, I had some really fun ideas, those all got shot down. A LOT of pinterest searching later, and the girls finally agreed that M&M's was an acceptable costume idea.

While figuring out WHAT to be took a long time, picking my pattern for our costumes did not. I knew the Sew By Pattern Pieces Fun Tee for girls and ladies would be my perfect base. And even better, if you need a pattern for your Halloween Costume, SBPP is offering 10% off of ALL of their patterns.

Knowing how changeable our weather can be, I opted to make short sleeve tees. I'd rather layer a long sleeve tee under if it gets cold, than end up like last year where their costumes were too hot!

The hardest part of this costume was figuring out what size to make each of the M's. I definitely printed out a few different sizes before cutting into my HTV with my Silhouette. I recently learned that if you don't have a heat press, one of the best ways to apply the HTV with an iron involves a wooden cutting board. Who knew?!

I was really lucky to have access to a full fabric shop. That meant that picking out solid cotton lycra for our costumes was easy. And I want your costumes to come along just as easy. So, today, October 6th ONLY, all solid Cotton Lycra is just $5. Simply By Ti Ships FAST. We aim for all orders to go out in 2 business days or less. All orders are shipped priority. So there is still plenty of time to grab your fabrics and put together a costume!

Ti

Hi, I'm Ti and I'm so happy you're here. I'm a self taught seamstress that loves to focus on good fit, well drafted patterns and of course, FABRIC! As a self proclaimed fabric-aholic, it only made sense to open a fabric store, thus, Simply by Ti was born. Here on my blog, you'll mainly find work that I've done for myself and my family. I am always looking to expand my sewing abilities and spend a lot of time learning new fitting and sewing techniques. I aim to provide objective, honest, creative content that will keep you actively engaged and wanting to read more.
