Roughly. :silly: that's why I like the idea of the sleeveless tunic, I can layer a long sleeve onesie or a fleece underneath. I am thinking about the blue t shirt though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-sewing-help#post-2773698 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:30:04 +0000 mrsbookworm 2773698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's the weather like in your area on Halloween? If it's cool enough, I would just get a teal long sleeve t-shirt and cut up the bottom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-sewing-help#post-2773697 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 15:28:31 +0000 Corduroy 2773697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not crafty but I saw this that might be helpful. <a href="https://www.primary.com/halloween/all/hei-hei?utm_source=fbacq&#038;utm_medium=ads&#038;utm_campaign=fb20pct&#038;utm_content=fbacqhalloweencanvas" rel="nofollow">https://www.primary.com/halloween/all/hei-hei?utm_source=fbacq&#038;utm_medium=ads&#038;utm_campaign=fb20pct&#038;utm_content=fbacqhalloweencanvas</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-sewing-help#post-2773686 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:31:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 2773686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ms. RV: ah, yes, just the tutorial I needed to make sense of it in my head. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-sewing-help#post-2773684 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 14:15:27 +0000 Ms. RV 2773684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just get a big piece of teal fabric and cut a neck hole (use a dress to detemine the right size). Slip it over her head and mark the fabric with a sharpie where the sides should be and then take it off of her. You could also do this with tissue paper to make your own pattern.</p> <p>ETA: Here is an explanation of how to make a tunic pattern using a shirt. <a href="http://www.prettyprudent.com/2013/01/baby-kid/diy-knights-tunic/" rel="nofollow">http://www.prettyprudent.com/2013/01/baby-kid/diy-knights-tunic/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/crafty-bees-sewing-help#post-2773681 Sun, 17 Sep 2017 13:09:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 2773681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've decided my younger daughter will be Hei Hei to go with her sister's Moana. I'm attaching my inspiration picture. I ordered a rooster/ turkey hat from Amazon that I'm hoping she will wear. We have yellow leggings that will work. But I'm picturing a super simple tunic top that I can add the neck ruffles to. </p> <p>Any ideas or links to super simple (free) tunic patterns? I do not have a sewing machine but have sewn simple things and am willing to hand sew, use iron on tape, and a hot glue gun. Basically I'm picturing something like teal fleece folded over, with a neck hole cut out, and the sides sewn up, that I can then cut in the zig zag bottom and add the neck stuff. But having trouble even coming up with the right search terms. </p> <p>THanks!<br /> (edited to add the link to the costume- super cute but I can't pay that much and my kid would refuse to wear half of it anyway <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/523398824/moana-hei-hei-heihei-roosterchicken?ga_order=most_relevant&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_search_query=hei%20hei%20costume&#038;ref=sr_gallery_7&#038;source=aw&#038;utm_source=affiliate_window&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&#038;awc=6220_1505671819_a41dabd7b8eb9e8876dad50e77c09bf8&#038;utm_content=202819)" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/523398824/moana-hei-hei-heihei-roosterchicken?ga_order=most_relevant&#038;ga_search_type=all&#038;ga_view_type=gallery&#038;ga_search_query=hei%20hei%20costume&#038;ref=sr_gallery_7&#038;source=aw&#038;utm_source=affiliate_window&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_campaign=us_location_buyer&#038;awc=6220_1505671819_a41dabd7b8eb9e8876dad50e77c09bf8&#038;utm_content=202819)</a></p> <p>[attach=2307/17/owfrs7.600x315.Hei-Hei-Costume.jpg] </p>
