George would like a Pokémon costume. Specifically the Pokémon Legends: Arceus Rei character. What? Who? I'm seriously out of touch here.
It's this guy. Steph suggested it might make sense just to modify a dressing gown, to get the simple wraparound jacket. She didn't think it would need to be shortened.
Blue fleece d/g duly bought and sent to Cornerstones. I researched the gold "Team Galaxy" sleeve logo and the grey diamond one on the chest. I found some mustard fabric for the sash, leftover from the dress I made for myself 5 years ago. And for the scarf and hat, the rest of that red curtain which lined the cape of the Worst Witch for World Book Day 2024.
Yet again I am thrilled with my sewing machine - the "walking foot" made sewing the thicker layers so easy.
George seems very happy with my efforts, and promptly WhatsApped to say thank you. Despite the heat, he was reluctant to take off the fleecy costume!
Thank you for all those kind words yesterday and the assurance of your prayers
Once again Grandma to the rescue. A brilliant make. George looks fantastic in his costume.

DeleteYou made a great Pokemon costume!

DeleteDoesn't it look amazing! Well done Grandma! I have a navy cropped dressing gown that would have been perfect for this - I'd have donated it for the cause!
ReplyDeleteIf Dr Who ever meets Pokémon, you have the basis of a cosplay outfit!!
DeleteFabulous! Such a clever conversion, ingenious
ReplyDeleteSteph had the d/g idea, I just did the modifications
DeleteWell done on another great make and your grandson looks delighted! Catriona

DeleteYou are a very talented Grandma, they are going to have fantastic memories of all the costumes that you made them.
ReplyDeleteI hope so.
DeleteClever Grandma. He looks thrilled with his costume. Xx

DeleteIt's terrific, you must be both proud and pleased.
ReplyDeleteDid you create the logos or buy them? JanF
I found the correct designs online. The chest diamond is grey and black felt. The sleeve patches took a lot more effort. Bob helped me by digitising the logo for my embroidery machine. I will explain more in a later post
DeleteBrilliant costume. His grin says it all. George is grateful to his gran for helping with his imaginative adventures.

DeleteWell done. I'm afraid I would be no help here. When I used to take my son to these movies, I would fall asleep every single time.
ReplyDeleteNot sure which was worse , going to a film with my kids and falling asleep, or forgetting where I was and joining in with the songs!
DeleteI think if one of the grandchildren wanted a costume of just about any character, you would find a way to make one! How fortunate that you had the mustard fabric and the red as well. That sewing machine is well deserved, as you make such good use of all the features.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a good buy
DeleteMy daughter was a big Pokemon fan. I showed her your costume and it got a big thumbs up. George has a very talented Grandma.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Pokémon has been around almost 30 years!
