truebluemeandyou: Halloween & Cosplay DIYs

This coffin bag is perfect for fans of hand sewing with a soft spot for the gothic! The project lends itself to beginners looking to improve their hand sewing skills, or experienced sewers wanting a simple but involved project. The instructions detail how to make the bag, from sourcing the materials to attaching the bag to a belt for ease of wear.

I made seven of these little grey ghosts for Samahin and Halloween last year. I used some scraps of fabric from an old shirt, and I recently got some more grey fabric scraps that I thought would work to make some more. 

The original seven from last year are on the top row, all in a darker, mottled grey. The newer ones are made with scraps from a different old shirt, as well as some lighter grey, textured eyelet fabric. 

They’re a pretty simple project, I didn’t do any sewing on them other than putting a thread loop through the tops of their heads so they can be added to a string or ribbon to be hung up. They’re just some fabric pieces tied around a bit of stuffing for the head, with their faces made up of three small circles of fabric, attached with hot glue.
