Profile view of the costume
This is my grandson Ryan. I made him this outfit from a vintage simplicity pattern that I found on the net. I made the outfit out of an ultra suede material with decorative bias tape and trim that I made from an old upholstery fabric that I had in my stash. I also had to make bows and arrows because Ryan told me that Indians have to have bows and arrows and I couldn’t find any in the store. I made him a necklace out of old buffalo horn beads that I picked up at the flea market along with a little inexpensive broach that I added feathers to. I made the headress from old feathers that I had from costumes and projects made for my older children who are now grown. The headress instructions were picked up off of YouTube. I used my machine to add decorative stitching to the trim on the outfit. I used puff paint to make the bead detail on the headband. The white puff paint is glow-in-the-dark so that when he goes trick-or-treating it will light up a bit. I love making his costumes just like I did for my children. He uses them to play dress-up with his friends throughout the year so I am in his thoughts since I live so very far away. It is one of the things that make me his Nana. Thank you.
