Earth Friendly Goodies If it's Good for the Earth it's Good for Your Health Creative Homemade Halloween Costumes for Girls and Boys
How often do you make or buy homemade Halloween costumes that are used only once because they are too scratchy and uncomfortable to ever wear again? Too often I would imagine. Are you left with a pile of pirates, princesses, and various ghouls and ghosties with no little kiddy to make them come alive once the candy has been consumed and the pumpkins have been turned into pie?
If you’d rather your kids could make use of those homemade Halloween costumes and their imaginations year round let me introduce Sarah’s Silks. Sarah’s Silks is a company started by Sarah and Mike Lee from Sonoma California who are dedicated to helping create a better world through imaginative play.
Sarah’s Silks offer a large selection of delicately delightful “quality play silks, toys and dress-ups for boys and girls between the ages of 3-10, that ignite the imagination, and capture the magical soul that lives in young children.”
How are Sarah’s Silks Homemade Halloween Costumes Made?
Silk is a natural fiber and renewable resource so it falls into that eco-friendly pile of playthings we so love here at Earth Friendly Goodies. Besides the eco-friendly nature of silk all the handmade dress-up silks use non-toxic vinegar-based dyes and are hand made by home based seamstresses in Shanghai China then shipped to Sonoma California where a group of women working in their homes finish sewing, ironing and packaging them.
Our daughters love playing dress-up year round and will break out the princess costumes any time day or night (princes need kissing and dragons need slaying at all hours it seems).
If you are looking for a unique fairy tale themed Halloween costume or a Halloween costume you can make at home Sarah’s Silks has several homemade Halloween costumes and silky accessories to choose from including dragons, unicorns, knights, mermaids, and of course princesses and fairies.
Not only does Sarah’s Silks sell completed costumes they also sell many fun flavors of play silks that you can use however you like to make your own homemade Halloween costumes.
Some Halloween costume ideas for mothers and daughters to choose from, bond over and have some fun with this coming Halloween are; mermaid, vampire queens, wenches, fairy tale, and wedding attire.
It has always been neat to see that mothers and daughters become very close but still most children will not want a matching costume with their mom. However, some mothers really want to make fairy tales come true in the minds of their children and they will want to wear matching costumes.
Thank you for this post… we also face same problems, once they Halloween is over, it really becomes difficult to keep these strange clothing’s in the house. We have a small kids rental shop, since i dont like them (my kids) to wear the rented clothes, after they are used once i donate them there..
My sister is planning what to wear this coming Halloween Party and she’s very excited to it. She even counted how many days to go before Halloween. I believe that it has always been neat to see that mothers and daughters become very close but still most children will not want a matching costume with their mom.
Now that’s a dedicated trick or treater – hope she finds a great costume. Thanks for stopping by John.
Ohhh perfect. Silk is elegant and convenient..
Great idea for Halloween. Very practical, in my opinion and silk is a very wonderful fabric.
Those would make fantastic homemade halloween costumes! It’s always fun to find family businesses that make unique products.
Halloween costumes looks good, it’s comfortable to wear also. Thanks guys for remembering this.
This is a great idea. My son is allergic to many man made fabrics, especially acetate. One year he broke out in a horrible rash. Not the fun holiday we were hoping for. 🙁
Yikes, that doesn’t sound like a fun time Patria. That’s the problem with many man made fabrics – there is so many chemicals in them.
I have to say that this is a great thought. Those would make fantastic do-it-yourself halloween costumes! It’s always enjoyable to discover family companies that make distinctive goods. Very practical, in my opinion and silk is a very wonderful fabric.
Silk is really a good idea when it comes in creating costumes especially in halloween. Love it, thanks!
Like this post. It’s getting close to Halloween and I still have no idea what I want to dress up. I’ve been looking at a bunch of different Halloween Costumes but it’s just so hard to decide what I want to be. Thanks for sharing this information.
