Every year I buy a simplicity pattern to make my halloween costume and then spend a month screaming at confusing directions. I still have not learned.

Currently I am trying to use pieces of a dorothy (wizard of oz) costume for the top of my rainbow brite costume. Unfortunately it has directions like "Baste the bodice pieces to the right side of the shirt." There are about 6 bodice pieces and no directions on HOW to lay them out before basting. (Picture is no help.) Nevermind that I'm only using half of them.... If I can figure out which half are the ones I need.

No matter how cheap they are, do not buy simplicity patterns! They will only bring you sadness!

Bringer of Sadness

Several people have come up to me today asking if I was making a halloween costume for the contest again this year. I happily have said "Yes!" to which each person replied "Well, then I guess there is no point in me wearing anything this year...." (Or something similar.)

Doom! I want everyone to wear costumes and have fun!

On the other hand, if no one else dresses up, I win by default...

But that's not a very satisfying win.

People should dress up and have fun and not care about winning! I didn't win last year and I still had fun!

I must convince them all to dress up no matter what!
