The tutu was made using Jalie 2915.
I used the same pattern to make the top of the mermaid costume. The mermaid costume was made out of scraps left over from all those ballet concert leggings I made last year. This Jalie pattern is great for scraps because the princess panels mean you only need little bits. The skirt is basically a tube. The tail is scraps of the lycra sewn onto an organza background.
The camo pants were quickly whipped up to go with an existing shirt. It was only worn for a little while though...turns out he prefers his elf costume from last year.
So cute! The mermaid tail is adorable. I made my oldest boy some dress up clothes after he was really interesting in some tutus as a friend's house. He never played with them. Good thing my middle son likes to wear costumes around the house or they'd never get played with.
ReplyDeleteThese girly costumes are so cute!!! They look so fun to make...maybe I should make some for my nieces. The only costumes I ever make are superhero capes. They look fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNicely done! The mermaid tail is great! I've noticed when a kid's the right age, say 5, costumes might get more use than their regular clothes.
ReplyDeleteMaking costumes for imaginative kids is such a rewarding pastime. The tutu is just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThree dress-up outfits - fantastic - what a great mum you are! They look as though they're really nicely made, and I'm sure they'll get a lot of playtime. Did you have to make many adjustments to Jalie 2915?
ReplyDeleteAAARGH! The mermaid is seriously awesome!!!!
