I ...Well, I can't let my son see these photos. I have convinced him to go as Tiki Tiki Tembo. He informed we that he hates book week and hates dress up so rather than make him a costume, I grabbed a women's Chinese shirt from the op shop and put a belt around it. I was going to get him one of those farmer's hats but got lazy...after seeing your photos I might just have to.<br /><br />Great work on finding RTW that you could adapt. Sewing tulle is not fun. The ribbons add a nice touch.katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-21105306217325006142011-08-22T01:12:38.880+10:002011-08-22T01:12:38.880+10:00Ha ha on "if I dress as a book character no o...Ha ha on "if I dress as a book character no one will know who I am".

From about 1990 - 2005, that was about the only sewing I did and I relished it. It was a chance to flex my creative muscles, and of course the kids love it.<br /><br />Very clever to add decorative stitching on the straps. It tied in the colors so well.<br /><br />And loving your son's costume, especially his sword.a little sewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18086285440873869055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300410233569072894.post-22758992208151359302011-08-21T23:13:42.854+10:002011-08-21T23:13:42.854+10:00I agree with everything you say re 8 year old boys...I agree with everything you say re 8 year old boys - any excuse to have a sword to school!

That dress is a great find...
