halloween costume countdown: pierrot
Do you know what you'd like to be for halloween? Spring wanted to be Pierrot for Halloween. Here are some tutorials and pattern if you'd like to be Pierrot, too. A ruffly tunic, some black tights, a collar and some pom poms, you are all set :)
By the way, the collar tutorial looks daunting, (and is in French) but it is surprisingly easy and the nicest part is that it looks prettier with the raw edge of the fabric sewing, so you just rip a strip of white fabric, fold and stitch as you go. There is no hemming.
