McCall's Native American Child Costume Pattern MC5953



Really straight forward, easy pattern.  I did peices A & G and it took no time at all, just a couple of hours one afternoon.

The ONLY complaint is with me and my lameness/stupidity/lack of trusting patterns/whatever.  When I was cutting out the shirt pieces (A) they looked WAY too small, so I cut a much larger size than my skinny little six-year old needs.  Yeah, the thing is I didn't take into account that 1/4 of the top is a seperate piece that gets added to the main part.  I was able to trim off the bottom, but it was too late for the neck line, which is pretty gaping on him.  But he loves it, so whatever.  Mistakes make homemade projects more endearing, right? Blergh.

He's actually been sleeping in the pants for a week.  Between the fabric material and the fringe it's a crazy fire hazard, but it makes me feel good he loves it so much.  And it's all about me.

What happened to forcing him to be Buzz Lightyear? I knew you'd cave! Ha!

Hey! At least he agreed to let me do something other than JellyFishMan. Even plastic canvas wouldn't have been able to rescue me from the problem of figuring out how to make a see-through (yet breath-through) multi-tenticaled head.
