Years of Handmade Halloween Costumes

My sister Jenny and I grew up sewing our own clothes. Our dad taught us how to sew from making patterns to working a three-thread edging machine. Between the two of us, my sister is the better seamstress and designer. 

She can guestimate a person's measurements with one look and her garments are often well-finished, no raw edges and evenly stitched. I envy her really. I can't even do an invisible zipper technique without the needle running over my finger. Ouch!



One thing Jenny enjoys most is playing dress up with her daughter.

She makes her daughter's costumes for birthdays and holidays such as Halloween and Easter.

The Davao Pep Squad

Going with Mommy to the Office

Severina Snape at Hogwarts

A Bunny Costume for a Little Miss Beauty Pageant

A PrepSchool Uniform outfit

Last Halloween, Sasha won a prize at the SM Mall in Davao for her SailorMoon costume

This one's my favorite!
