Witch

I always make a Witch’s costume beautiful. You can find pettycoats at garage sales and used clothing stores and dye them black. Both my daughters wore this costume and won first prizes in costumer contests. It’s very effective for a young girl’s positive self image as a Witch.

Pattern for double, full, skirt, or, a very full long black skirt and/or Pattern for long tutu or several very full long black pettycoats.

• If sewing, 6 yards black acetate satin, 12 yards black tulle
• Black leotard
• Commercial Witch’s hat
• Commercail Dracula cape
• 2 yards 2” wide black lace
• Black boots
• Broom, paint the handle black, and dye the broomstraw orange
• 3 yards each 2 inch orange and black satin ribbon
• 2 feet 1/4 inch black velvet ribbon.
• Attach the black satin ribbin to the waist band of the skirt so that it will tie into a huge bow in the back
• Gather and sew lace around the brim of the hat
• Use the velvet ribbon as a choker
• Tie the orange ribbon around the base of the broom, in an elaborate bow

You can probably find most of these things at the local mall if you’ve left it until the last minute.
