Ghost Mermaid Halloween Costume – Sewing Tutorial

Ghost Mermaid Halloween Costume - Sewing Tutorial

This ghost mermaid costume is a fun twist on a Halloween classic. Heather Handmade created this cute costume for her daughter, and she has a tutorial on her blog showing how she did it. The costume is made from three parts – a mermaid tail dress, a ghost cape, and a wig. The wig you’ll need to buy, but she shows how to make the dress and the cape.

I have a problem. Well, several problems, but today we’re talking about the 37 yards of fabric currently taking up residence in my closet. Some of it’s been there so long it could legally vote. That beautiful linen? Bought for a specific project in 2018. The designer wool? “Too nice to cut.” The rainbow of quilting cotton? Well, it was on sale.

Every time I open that closet, I swear the fabric whispers, “Remember when you were going to make that dress?” The guilt is real. But so is the joy of petting my hoard like a fabric dragon sitting on her treasure.

Last week I tried the KonMari method. I got as far as “does this spark joy?” before buying three more yards of floral voile. Some habits die hard.
