The Modest pirate costume.

Click Here for my current Giveaway, Closes Wednesday Night.

I thought I might run out of time, or spend too much money, so I did look through all the costume shops for her costume.  WOWZA,  she is only 11, but she can't wear a kids costume and the women's pirate costumes are a much too risque'.  I don't know how to spell that word. 

SO....... off to the fabric store.

Start with a boys dress shirt

cut the collar off rounded like

sew a casing and thread it with elastic. and that is where I stopped, because I thought it looked so cute, maybe we can reuse this later.

I decided to make the cuffs seperate, so miss picky can take them off if they bother her.

rounded works better

sew a casing in  the small end and thread it with elastic the length of her wrist.

Add lace of cours

Brown fabric, I cut a strip of fabric for the sash.

red and brown stripes,  I hunted and hunted and finally found some in the quilt shop.  It was expensive and I didn't think I got quite enough so that is why I made the brown skirt to go under it.

I didn't hem it, but I am excited because I can re-use this too.  I am going to give it a cute finish or ruffles?  She needs a brown skirt.

 think its pretty cute!  all it really cost me in the end was the striped stuff that I spent too much on.
