AW Gnomeo costume

image

Okay, so I cheated slightly and just bought the pants, but I made the blue top, the hat and the belt.

I didn't have a pattern so this was awful for me, since it was my first time without a pattern, first garment AND first time using fleece. The collar and the neckline aren't perfect but it's a 5 year old and I took 30 pictures before I got this one that wasn't blurry. So I doubt anyone else will notice. And I might end up redoing the hat because it's a little snug and the curve is almost too severe.

  • He's adorable! I totally winged both kids costumes last year- no patterns, and they took next to no time. This year, I decided to do a pattern I had in my stash for gwen- and holyhell. It's taking SO much time! Just the cutting took well over an hour- eighteen bazillion pieces of tulle for a skirt. Gabe's costume- winged it- less than 2 hours total.
  • What a handsome gnome! And the costume looks great. (Crafting confession: I almost never fret about the picky stuff on costumes, because they wear it so little and nobody is going to notice. M's costume this year is not lined at all. I'll probably put him in a sleeper underneath and he nor anybody else will know the difference.)
