The cape is from Simplicity 5512 view A. I have used this pattern many times now. It is a nice cape with shaped shoulders and the hood drapes nicely on the head. I had to lengthen the cape (my pattern goes up to child size 8) and widen the shoulders, all easy alterations.
The youngest costume was a blending of patterns. The pants were pj pants from a McCalls pattern that I removed a lot of ease from to make them straight pants with an elastic waist (my son who doesn't like home made clothes told me he can wear these all the time!). The top, from the Simplicity pattern, I shortened and added the hood from Simplicity 5512. The vest I lengthened it from the original.
My husband carves our pumpkins following the design we each pick. Don't they look good?

Look who joined our family!!
These cuties come from Small Angels Rescue, a non-profit organization that rescues little critters, fosters them and then finds permanent homes for them. We drove out to Frederick to pick them up this morning. So say hello to George, Jink and Houdini.
Great job on the customes! I love your pumpkins too!
ReplyDeleteThe pumkins, costumes and new additions are all great!
ReplyDeleteWe're in synchronicity! I just completed a hooded costume and one glowing pumpkin. (Your pumpkins are really cute!)
