Fortunately, I already had bright green fleece at home, unfortunately though I have already cut the fabrics before I got the "order" for the Ben 10 jacket. Therefore it has Raglan sleeves instead of standard ones. Oh, well. But the rest is exactly as it should be:
Bright green jacket with three white stipes. I used elastic bands and reversed them to hide the shiny side. I also added the front zipper.
(Almost) perfect ten!
And the final jacket with the Omnitrix-Ultimatrix watches.
No need to say that he is VERY happy!
Great job! My 6 yr old loves Ben 10. He wore a bought Ben 10 costume 2 years ago. But now he wants to be the older Ben. Whatever that means. All I know is the older Ben wears this green jacket. What pattern, if any, did you use for your jacket. I found Burda 9527 that I think I might use.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katrina! I used Ottobre design Nr. 26 from the 2008/4 issue. Just a basic and very simple raglan pattern with an added zipper. Oh, and I also changed (added) the collar. Otherwise I'm pretty sure any simple jacket pattern would be fine. As long as there is a shiny 10 on it :-)
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me how much you charged for the Ben 10 jacket? My son loves the show, has all the toys. But, all the jackets I have found on the internet have been very expensive and look to be be poorly made. Just courious and exploring options! Thanks, Shawna sm_rios@msn.com
ReplyDeleteCharged? I made one piece for my son only. It wasn't for sale! But it seems I will soon have to make another one because he's growing so fast.
DeleteThe materials, btw, cost a few Euro, probably not more than 10 €.
I might make this ben 10 jacket to for a ben 10 ultiment alien costum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
