Halloween 2003 - 17 month old Bob the builder.
This outfit used the Kwik Sew sewing for Toddlers book. Basic long sleeve T made out of orange/yellow knit. Darker orange knit squares sewn on (I remember having the bright idea of using basting spray to make it easier - bad idea, the spray left grease marks that appeared after washing!) then the blue fleece was cut free hand to resemble the top of the overalls. Pants were elastic waist pants from the Kwik Sew book. The Finishing touches were of course the hard hat (which oddly came from Kernals the popcorn store), the belt which was a strip of leather look fabric, some velcro and black elastic loops to hold some plastic tools, last but not least were the runners which had Bob's face on them. First picture also shows Pilchard - Bob's cat. Second picture shows the "after" - note the look of amazement. Third picture is a close up of the outfit - I didn't rotate before uploading so just turn your head to the side :)
