Costumes at VBS are simple. I hemmed rectangles of fabric for capes and threaded ribbon through a casing. I cut a hole in about a yard of fabric for costumes all the time. We do numbers. VBS might have over 80 kids. I buy fabric by the bolt unless I’m making a few costumes for skits or prayer. (I dress up two girls as an angel and as the Virgin Mary for prayers.) Sometimes, I can find bolts of fabric online, such as eBay. Joann’s sells fabric at a discount if you buy a bolt, which is useful if you’re sewing 100 capes. Below are a few costumes. You can see just how simple they are. Muslin or most knits don’t even need to be hemmed; VBS is only a week. It’s unlikely the kids will wear them again.
