	I was really into costume making when I was in high school, and have gotten back into it lately with my two kids. I made my son a really cool costume for Halloween based on a cartoon character that he likes. It was quite a complicated thing, and I had to make it from scratch, down to making my own pattern. We also go to science fiction conventions, and I entered Elias and his costume in the Costume contest, where we competed against 15 other adults and their costumes, and we got an award for the "best workmanship"!
	Front costume - Homemade bias binding, miles of satin stitching, and appliqués, oh my! And those sleeves!
	Back costume - and another appliqué on the back...I watched a LOT of the cartoons to find out what that was! I knew there was something there!
	Sword Stance - Li Shoran, cartoon character from "Card Captors". Elias in action. He can't help it in this costume!
	Elias of Gryffindor - With his robe and house logo showing.
	Showing off his wand - This is my son, Elias, showing off his uniform and that I sewed a pocket to the seam of his robe so that he could carry the wand I made him.
	Murphy asks, "Harry Potter, is that you? Did you change your hair color? I like it if you did." Gryffindor uniform 2 - In his uniform. Other than the hair color, he does kind of look like Harry ---especially the wild hair!
	Kalyn of Ravenclaw - Shows the ironed on logo. Kalyn was Penelope Clearwater, an older Ravenclaw girl who was a prefect, and Percy Weasley's girlfriend. She gets turned stiff, along with Hermione, in book 2, by the basilisk.
	Ravenclaw costume - This is my daughter, Kalyn, showing off her uniform. My first, and hopefully last, attempt at a pleated skirt!
	Li Shoran - All dressed up, ready for A Science Fiction Convention Masquerade. We won "Best Workmanship"!

Cool! These are really wonderful! Great job, Jackie!
