Are you strapped for time, but need to get a Halloween costume made? If you have an afternoon, you can make a no-sew costume! Check out our tutorials for no-sew fleece costumes! http://j.mp/nCV7aW
i really love the idea of no sew costumes, but i question the "indian princess" costume. as an asian woman, i don't like when little girls come to my door costumed as geishas. i find it very offensive. so, i wonder if a native american would see something like this and also be offended. i know it's probably not meant to be offensive, but as creative people i think we need to be more sensitive to this and create costumes that don't reduce an actual culture into a costume.
Don't you think this is a bit pathetic. I'm of Caribbean and native american decent and I don't find Rasta men or Indian costumes offensive, its just children having fun. As long as you educate your children that everyone from are not the same or all dress like this its fine!! Sorry I just think its a bit too PC

ReplyDeleteGood point, Geraly. I'll see if we can feature a different costume. Thanks! -Kim @ Jo-Ann
