In True Cosplayer Fashion...

sakon76Have just finished Baby's First Cosplay[tm]. Tomorrow the Squiddle will go to Wondercon dressed as Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon. The costume will probably look pretty good, but I keep looking at it seeing what it's not. It's missing the ties at the neck because not having them will make getting the shirt over his head so much easier, and the belt will be safety pinned together in the back because I really, really didn't feel like staying up however much longer it would take to tear apart my sewing area and figure out where the bloody blazes I stashed the velcro.
Also, I have rediscovered how much I hate sewing knits. Which probably means I should sit down and put myself through the paces and sew a garment or two out of the stuff so I get better at it. (Hiccup's shirt is clearly a woven fabric in the film, but I want Squiddle to be able to wear this to ComicCon too in a few months. And babies grow.)
Pix of the costume, and various other things, to come next week. For now, bed, then dance class in the morning, then seeing how the baby does at a convention as opposed to RenFaire. (And, for the record, he did not handle Faire well. But that's a story for another time.)
ETA: The other thing the Hiccup costume does not have is boots. Because unlike Prince George, Squiddle goes shoeless. We live in a warm climate and he's not walking yet, ergo.
