My daughter chose a pirate theme for her costume this year. We were unhappy with the available pattern options out in the marketplace, so she designed her own costume, and I happily complied with her vision (which was fairly easy to sew - I based a pattern for the jumper on one of her tank tops and just extended it to have an a-line skirt.) She even chose the fabric and trim for the tunic and hat at JoAnns; I found the iron-on patch for the front of the tunic,which was a last-minute embellishment. We added a blouse, belt and boots from a thrift store, and one of my old wigs!

She received many compliments as she made the rounds in the neighborhood on halloween.
