So here is the costume: I love how it turned out. Just like what I had in mind. We got Isaac baseball pants and black mud boots and Nate's red tie to finish the costume. It really was very fun for me. I changed the cut of the jacket and added the red trim. I made up the shoulder/fringe things and the red cuffs from scratch. I really want to try making more things without a pattern, or try drafting my own patterns. The possibilities are endless!

ReplyDeleteGreat costume. Better not let the word out though - or you will be making costumes forever.
ReplyDeleteBut maybe that's okay - since you love it!!
(After a time I got tired of making costumes - if I wasn't excited about the particular costume, it became drudgery!!)
