Regular readers will know that when it comes to costumes I often knock something up myself, especially for World Book Day.
For Halloween though, Joseph has had some awesome bought costumes that were a bargain find from one of his aunties. Picked up for a few pence he's been a cute spider and a scary skeleton! This time though I wanted to have an attempt at making him something.
After a scroll through Pinterest Joseph chose a wolf boy/werewolf. It looked easy to do, so I decided to give it a try.
I bought some furry fabric for a bargain of £2.00 for half a metre and set about making a tail and cutting out patches of fur. I sewed some around the cuffs and then onto the shirt, so it looked like it was bursting through.
After the first attempt though I wasn't happy with the results and decided to try and cut a hole in the shirt and have the fur really poking through. This was a huge fail though! You could see the stitching and there were gaps, so I went back to sewing it on top of the shirt fabric but switched to a zigzag stitch, which was much more successful!
With a painted face and his wolfy shirt Joseph has his costume!
No, it's not as good as a shop bought one but with the fabric, thread and face paint it has cost less than £3.50 to make and it's made with a huge amount of love!
Wow, that was soppy!
