Cowboy costume

To continue the costume saga of MiniMojcek Nr.1: I told you already that when he saw MrMojcek dressed as Lucky Luke, he wanted to be one as well. We settled for a generic cowboy costume.

He borrowed MrMojcek's hat that we bought so many years ago in Sydney, I cut a piece of red fabric to make the bandana and I cut an old H&M T-shirt to make the vest. Of course he needed "pockets" for his pistols (to make a long story short: I am NOT buying him pistols so he makes his own from Duplo bricks. Oh, well. Boys will be boys.). I made a very simple fleece belt with holsters and spurs.




He adored the costume and almost ran to the kindergarden to show it to the others. But when he got home, he greeted me on the door with the words:" We will make a pirate hat and sword like MiniMojcekNr.2's-best-friend has."

Notice that
a) he used the word "we" and not "you" and
b) he said "make" and not "buy".
That's my boy!

But this does not change the fact that the costume saga is not over yet.
