So, out came the old T shirts and a bag of sheeting remnants.
I used his PJs as a pattern and cut out a top and trousers.
I stitched strips of sheeting across all pieces, before making up the garment.
Then I added a hood and some extra bits and bobs to make it look well worn.
The result was one very happy little boy who wore the outfit for the entire evening.
Success!
This week I am making little gift pouches from card for the tiny fairies.
You will know that card/papercraft is not really my thing but I was quite pleased with the result.
That's it for this week.
See you around the WOYWW desks later.

Ben's costume is superb. What a great idea and such a change from the normal witches and wizards. I can imagine his reaction when he saw it.
ReplyDeleteYour little pillow boxes are lovely and will work so well with the fairies.
Thank you (wink wink)
Hugs, Neet 7 xx
I do think a fairy in a packet sounds just wonderful..they look great. So does the Mummy costume. I remember this early costume stage and being determined to make stuff that wouldn’t fall apart if she kept it on all night, which did mean real sewing. But I never send an outfit like this, it’s tremendous, what fun Ben must have had! Hurrah for you!
ReplyDeleteThe mummy costume is adorable and brings backf memories of my grandson one year. He was a mummy and we had such fun wrapping him!

Amazing Mummy costume Jo. I still remember getting less than two weeks notice of a Dalek costume for the summer fair from my eldest many years ago. I will have to find a photo as I am still rather proud of that one lol. The fairy pouches look great! Happy WOYWW. Sarah #2
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, great job on the costume, I recall doing one very similar for my youngest when he was 8 or so- he's in his 30's now,lol. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #5 X
