Yup, that’s what I’m doing. The machine is out (and probably out for the season, too, because Christmas is coming). The fabric has been purchased. The costume has been planned, it’s just pinning and sewing, now.
The cape is finished. Tomorrow we will move onto the arm bands, mask, boot covers and applique for the chest piece.
Stay tuned for the finished result, and one happy nine-year-old super-hero.
P.S. Seeing me make my oldest son’s costume, my oldest daughter now wants me to make her Alice in Wonderland jumper for Halloween, too. Back to the fabric store I go!
P.P.S. It appears I may be making my middle-daughter’s pirate costume, too. We can’t find one. It’s a good thing we’re going to the store again.
P.P.P.S. Hopefully once the costumes are set, I’ll get to begin work on other projects. I’m getting excited, I’m delving into tutus. I also bought some more remnants to make more crayon roll-ups and take-along crayon/coloring book bags (my last creation shown below)
