Pirate Costume

One of the things on my "to do" list last month was to sew a pirate costume for my friend's son who was celebrating his 7th birthday. The birthday boy wanted a pirate themed party and I promised to sew his costume for him. Here's the birthday boy in his pirate outfit looking quite pleased with the parrot on his shoulder.

I made the pants using this super easy tutorial from My Cotton Creations. The top was a blouse I found at a thrift store which I altered. It had the billowy sleeves that was perfect for a pirate shirt. I have never done alterations before but it was surprisingly quite easy. The entire outfit took about a couple of hours to make, including the cutting. Since I had some extra fabric left, I also made skirts for these little ladies using this tutorial. 

Pirate costume - check! Now on to the next project on my list. 

Until next time, Ahoy Mateys!
