The big Bad Wolf

So my family is going to a costume dance for Valentines.  My husband decided he and I are a matched set as the Big Bad wolf and me as Little Red riding hood.

 

The girls are going as a Tardis, Batgirl, and a Steam Punk version of Alice in Wonderland.  I will post photos later if I remember to take them.  But this is the progress on the one costume I had to make for my husband it is not quiet done but almost.  Good thing my kids are hams when it come to taking photos.  Do not know what I will do when I no longer have around to use as mannequins.

This costume was similar in construction to "Bottom the Donkey" I did in "A Mid Summer Nights Dream".

This is a costume that is a Frankenstein like pattern.  Meaning I took some of this pattern, some of that pattern, some I made up and this is what you get. A monster nope a costume that is what you want and not what the pattern company wants.

This costume is meant to fit my husband thus it is too big on my middle daughter.  Yes I have silly children I think these photos prove that.

For those who have never worked with faux fur best to draw pattern pieces on the back with permanent marker  and cut from the back with a razor blade.  You get a lot less fluff and stuff all over the house also cut outside. 
I cut over the cement porch since you only cut the back of the fabric the blade does not dull on the cement.  But it keeps you safer to cut towards the cement as opposed to over ones legs and accidentally cut oneself.
