This morning Emily came to me & said
“Mama, I want to sew a costume!” (oh, yes!)
We decided to make a knights robe, as we all love fairy tales with brave knights & dragons.
This costume is completely kid made,
as you know Emily just turned three & she had absolutely no problem following the easy steps.
I did help to cut out some shapes, but if your little one can cut & paste then this will be great for you.
You will need:
fabric for the robe, ca. 170 x 60 cm , plus some scraps for decorating.
fabric for the crest on the front,
rope or yarn to use as the belt
fabric glue , scissors
(or,if you or an older child can sew, needle & thread.)
How to:
Fold your fabric in the middle ,
& let your little one cut a half circle into the top.
This is where the head will go through, so don’t make it too small, & don’t make it too big.
Cut out a crest out of the other fabric & let your little one decorate it by gluing fabric shapes onto it,
then glue the crest onto the front of your robe.
put it on & tie the rope or yarn around.
All done!
ps// It looks great with a crown made from colourful paper!
I hope you enjoy this!

Brilliant! Well done Emily , and mum

ohh, that’s wonderful~ and what a great blog you have here!
Gorgeous!! Isn’t it just the best thing ever when our children come to us with their ideas and wanting to do somehing? It totally makes me trust the unschooling process and breathe a great sigh of “yes, unschooling is great and children will learn what they want to learn”. YAY!!
How completely adorable! What a creative, crafty Emily you have!
Love this, what a crafty girl you have! My Matteo has been wanting a knight costume and I hadn’t figured out the tunic part yet… thanks to you (and Emily : ) we can do it!
I love that this is kid made. Very cool.
That is a fantastic costume, your daughter looks great and is very talented. You must be very proud.
