Christmas elf

I never thought I would have to sew a Santa hat but MiniMojcek Nr.2 was a christmas elf in a school play (at least he wasn't a lobster!) so I had to make one.

I bought the prettiest pom-pom I could find and a couple of minutes later the hat was made.

Yes, he had the fluffiest pom-pom on the stage :-)

Dumbledore costume

One day before the carnival my working table looked like this:

Thirty minutes later, the hat was made, without a pattern, just a slightly distorted ellipse and a rectangle sewn together.

All that I needed to make was the cloak, the beard and the glasses. As I was really rushing, so no time for taking pictures.

The glasses were simply made of a wire, the beard of felt and the wand used to be a wireless antenna :-)

See you later... alligator!

This year MiniMojcek Nr.2 decided he wanted to be a cock/rooster. I didn't have time to make such an elaborate costume, besides, he was a parrot last year and this was just too similar. So I sent MrMojcek to talk him out of it and come up with something simpler.

He came back. The kid wanted to be a crocodile!

Sooo... off to H&M to buy some bright green leggings and long-sleeved T-shirt. I just made the head with the mouth and teeth:

and added the tail and the spikes on his back:

And then - he fell ill. So all the work was in vain.

Oh, well.

Baby cap

We have a cap for MiniMojcek Nr. 2 but it is made of cotton and it is too cold for winter. So I copied the pattern and made a cap from polar fleece, using the remains of the fleece from the buggy blankets. A simple pattern, the side pieces cut 4-times and the central piece twice.


The finished product:




I could not resist putting the ears on the cap :-)
