From Lucy James: “I was the Oogie Boogie Man and the kids were Lock, Shock and Barrel from ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’ movie. I made my dress from a dress pattern but adapted it to look more like a ball gown. I used leftover fabric I had and included contrast stitching, plastic bugs and vinyl bugs that I cut out and stuck on.
"The boys’ outfits were simple sweatsuits in the appropriate colors. We cut out the bone shapes from felt and hot-glued them on the outfit. I sewed the witch hat and dress for my daughter in fleece using a simple A-line dress pattern. The masks were made from cardboard and masking tape, covered with papier-mâché and paints. It was pretty quick and easy to put together.”
