Halloween is the one time of year when it’s socially acceptable – and expected – to wear something totally over-the-top, absolutely ridiculous, or perfectly funny. Sewers and crafters of all skill levels can take advantage of this opportunity to create a costume for their own inner child, whether it’s a fairy princess or a swashbucklin’ pirate. To help you decide what kind of character you’d like to be, we have released our annual Top DIY Halloween Costumes for 2009. Have a fun time!
