All done! Can’t you just see me doing a jig?? Kailan loves his costume and doesn’t want to take if off once it is on…so it took me awhile to get pictures.
His pirate pants are made out of a striped brown corduroy fabric. I made them short and cuffed to show off his pirate boots that I found on Ebay. I just modified a pattern to make the cuff.
The shirt I actually made for his costume last year, and made the shirt a little big for him. He will finally wear it this year, since he didn’t wear it last year. Yay! I used a vintage pattern for it, since I just needed a plain shirt. The fabric is a butter-soft fleece, and is accented with a soft brown leather.
His vest I made out of a royal blue velveteen and it is lined with a brown suede-like material. The pattern was in one of the patterns I had for Anya, so I just made it longer. A vest is a vest! I used leather “cord” to make the loops for the little silver celtic buttons. The belt is made out of the same lining used in his vest, which I put over black webbing I actually bought for purse handles. I buckle I’ve had in my notions stash for years.
The accessories: Pirate hat, foam cutlass and eye patch bought at Target. Pirate boots bought on Ebay. He looks so dang handsome in it all! He makes quite the dashing pirate.
This is what you get when you have kids tired of the camera. I think their postures pretty much convey the, “Done yet??” attitude. Yet…they are still adorable. 😉
Ohhh Adam is going to be a pirate too… but I am not cool enough to make his costume. How much do you charge??? lol 😉 Jk… looks awesome!
They are going to be the best dressed on the street. Awesome pirate costume. Have you ever made a costume for somebody for a charge? wink wink.
Stacy strikes again! Another awesome outfit. that’s even cooler than the coolest pirate costume I could have imagined. No wonder he doesn’t want to take it off!
LOL at the kids defeated posture! But still extraordinarily cute.
You are so talented! That is amazing – and love the blue for the vest – and the boots are perfect – he is such a great little pirate! 🙂
I wish I was your kid.
Thanks ladies! Um…don’t think I will be taking orders anytime soon, unfortunately. If I could somehow manage to figure out how to live on no sleep…then maybe. 😉
Yeah, I would be next in line after Alissa. They are going to be the coolest trick-o-treaters, ever!
Aaaaaaaaaah!!! That last shot is straight out of a movie. Divine!
