I am a huge fan of Halloween. I think I like it so much because we get to dress in costumes, and I just LOVE costumes. Costumes, cosplay, Halloween....any excuse to get out my sewing machine and show my skills, and have some fun. Dress me up!
I don't have the mad costuming skills some of my friends have - friends who are actually professional costumers, and even have degrees in costuming - but I can hold my own, and I'm generally pretty proud of what I manage to come up with.
These are some of the costumes I've created in the past:
Steampunk Airship Pirate
Steampunk Airship Pirate (note: I did NOT make the corset. Just everything else).
Steampunk Airship Pirates
Lightning McQueen made completely from scratch
He was happy to wear it even though it was a bit heavy.
Sonic the Hedgehog (I didn't make the headpiece, just everything else.)
Quick Renaissance garb from pirate wear.
Old skool Robin (the taller one, natch)
This was a dress I made myself for New Year's Eve one year.
Arrr! A pirate!
We be pirates!
The Honey Tree and Owl (from Winnie-the-Pooh).
It was a group theme costume - the kids were Winnie-the-Pooh, Tigger, Piglet and Christopher Robin. They were adorable!
One year we did Charmander when the kiddo was particularly into Pokémon. He was pretty knackered in the second photo after trick-or-treating through the mall in a warm costume.

This one is the piece de resistance. I sculpted this Freddy Fazbear Costume from foam, a medium I had never worked in before. The jaw moved and everything. It wasn't easy to move in, but he wanted to do it.
I am so crazy proud of this costume. I even made a video of the making of it:
