I made this using only fabric scraps I had saved over the years. It paid off.
Found this Simplicity 5402 pattern years ago at a Value Village for a dollar :). I didn’t have any children at that point, but I always knew I would be sewing their costumes one day. I have made small adjustments to the patterns and it turned out great.
