Dragon*Con 2014!

Oh my goodness did I have fun making some costumes for Dragon*Con 2014!
My step-daughter wanted to do a female version of the 10th Doctor (David Tennant) and my step-son wanted to learn how to sew his own costume for Wizard Whitebeard (to match his friend who dressed up as Waldo).
 
After some Googling and discussion, she and I came up with a pretty cool design based on one of the Doctor's iconic suits and away I went! I am very pleased with the end result and wish I had gotten a better picture!
 
 
(Actually, I completely failed on pics all around this year, but you get the idea.)
 
The Wizard Whitebeard costume worked out great too and was a simple project for a beginning sewer. Of course he needed a beard as well and I found a wonderful tutorial on yarn beards over at Instructables! Had to do one for my other stepson as well for his dwarf costume. They both turned out absolutely fantastic!

 
He even wore the beard again for Halloween, but this time as a pirate!
