Sewing Tutorial: Paper Bag Princess costume

Ashley from Bright Shadows created this Paper Bag Princess dress out of – appropriately enough – paper bags. Amazing! The costume is based on the classic children’s book The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch. It’s an awesome Halloween costume sure to get loads of compliments, but it would also be a fabulous costume for a teacher to wear on a book character dress up day.
