My mom’s birthday is October 31st. Even though it was supposed to be her day, she fully embraced Halloween every year with my brother and me, easily making it my favorite holiday.
.
She dressed us up in extravagant costumes and transformed us into great trick-or-treaters. .
She loved hand-making our costumes. And I loved dreaming up ideas with her and then going to the fabric store, where she would create the perfect interpretation.
.
One of her most impressive accomplishments was a Dracula cape for my brother. I remember watching her construct the cape on her sewing machine at the dinning room table. It was a beautiful long black silky cape with red lining.
.
We ended up repurposing the cape for several costumes through out the years.
