Arrr!

I always forget to take photos of my sewing projects, but I managed to get this one before I wrapped it for my grand nephew's fifth birthday.  A pirate costume, which was a lot of fun to google and make.  The red bit is a belt sash/head scarf, and there is an eye patch and pirate flag, and it was all made with things from my various stashes:
Ps:  And I forgot to add that by happy coincidence, the birthday cake was a pirate ship!
