Halloween is right around the corner

     Oh my favorite time of the year, Halloween!  Where I can be anything, isn't that a freeing experience.  Many folks run to the store and pick over what is left of the Halloween costumes, I have been guilty of this myself.  However my mom, a wonderful person, taught me to use a sewing machine in about the 7th grade.  We NEVER wore store bought costumes, but ones that my mom had spent precious time making for us.  We won costume contests, and I suppose that's why my sewing machine has been out for over a month. 
     The Costumes we offer at Oaktopia Design are hand made with that same love mom put into her designs.  As a matter of fact, the first costume I sewed for the shop was a french maid outfit.  My mom made me one for a Halloween party I attended in the 7th grade.  I thought Pops might bust a vein over it, but I promised to be a good girl (and I was) and I think I won my Pops trust that night.

 
     Anyways, I know that not all of us are a standard size, and so I make costumes in all sizes, even into the XXL.  This way every one gets a chance to have a hand made costume that will last for years and years.

     Well with the season fast approaching, I wanted to let my readers know that I will make special trips to the post office so that they can get their costume in time. So please visit our ETSY shop at www.etsy.com/shop/OaktopiaDesign.  That way every one can have a happy Halloween, I know I will.  Lots of love to all of you, NJ
