Motor Mouth wanted to be Wreck It Ralph for Halloween. Except...There are NO Wreck It Ralph costumes! The movie isn't even in theaters yet.
Motor Mouth emailed me a pic of Wreck It Ralph. Then he kept asking if we finished his costume. I told him that "Daddy and I GOT this." Then we'd look at each other and whisper "We don't have this, do we?"
J to the rescue!!! J found these two shirts at a thrift store for maybe $4 total. The brown fabric is from JoAnne Fabrics, maybe $14 total.
I crawled into bed at about midnight the night before Motor Mouth needed his costume for a party. J had been asleep and woke up then.
When I woke up the next morning, J had sewed these overalls without a pattern! Look at the detail! It was MAYBE his third time using a sewing machine.
I'm pretty proud of my man. The smile on Motor Mouth's face said it all.
FYI...J cut the neck of the orange shirt to make the v-shape. You can make this with an overalls pattern or buy a white pair of overalls and dye them brown with RIT dye. Good luck!
wow - someone sewed those overalls without a pattern, to fit, and look that great??? Awesome! I need to find some for my son - he wants to be WIR for Halloween next year (we do family costumes so it takes a while to prepare, hence, alraedy planning!!). Awesome job!!!
