![]() ![]() Witch Costume Step 9: Depending on the look you are going for with your witch’s outfit, you may want to add elastic loops to the sleeve like I did. It essentially is like a tube at this point. Now, with right sides together serge your sleeve along the long part to make your witch sleeve. You can do this with a satin stitch on your serger, but if your fabric is stretchy and has holes (like the lace) just use a regular serge stitch length or your machine will eat the fabric. Because my sleeve is stretch lace for the witch costume tutorial I chose to serge the edges where we made our point. You should now have a slimmer witch sleeve. Witch Costume Step 8: Cut the excess off. Draw from the corner of your sleeve to the new mark you made at the wrist like this. I wanted a fuller sleeve at the shoulder so I graded the pattern based on the current point of the shoulder. Mark that from the edge with the triangle. Half your wrist measurement plus one inch will give us our first mark. Witch Costume Step 7: We will begin next to the point we just made. ![]() If you are using cotton that doesn’t have stretch you may need to add a little room for hands to make it out the sleeves. I am using a stretch lace for the witch sleeves, so I can get away with making the sleeves a little more fitted. Stella’s wrist measures 5” and the pattern piece was a lot bigger. Your sleeve pattern piece is only half of the sleeve as you cut it on the fold. Witch Costume Step 6: Now we need to reduce the width of the witch sleeve so that the point is fitted. Tape that triangle with the right angle to the left side of the sleeve pattern piece. ![]() You now have a triangle!Ĭut it out making sure that you cut the fold too. Draw a line from the fold at the line to the mark you just made. Witch Costume Step 5: Hold on to your hats, math is next! Take the Widest Part of the Hand measurement and divide it in half.įrom the fold of your paper measure to 1.5″ and make a mark. Grab a sheet of paper and mark down from the top your Wrist to Second Knuckle measurement. Be sure to substitute the measurements in your chart to make a proper witch sleeve. To make things less complicated, I’ll be using Stella’s measurements from here on out. See that? You DO use geometry after high school. Witch Costume Step 4: We are going to make a scalene triangle together. Your child may need to have some length added or taken away depending on their arm. Stella’s Shoulder to Wrist measurement was spot on for the 5T pattern piece when I included a half an inch for seam allowance. The 5T was coming in a little over 15.5” so I needed to add length to make the pointy part of her witch sleeve. Get the sleeve pattern piece and measure it from the shoulder (tallest part) to the hem. Witch Costume Step 3: Now comes the fun part. ![]() Here’s a handy dandy table to help you keep all this stuff organized. Witch Costume Step 2: Measure across the widest part of the hand it was 2.5” for Stella. Then, measure from the wrist to the second knuckle on the middle finger hers was three inches. First, measure from the shoulder to the wrist Stella’s was 15 inches. Be sure to have the kid handy, because you will need more than the basic measurements. Witch Costume Step 1: Before you get to cutting your fabric for the witch costume, we need to do some alterations to the sleeves first. They generally stock a good variety of Halloween Fabrics that would be good for witch costumes. Isn’t it divine? It glimmers and sparkles and I knew it was just the right addition to Stella’s costume.Īlso, shop at. I found the black spider web overlay at Joanns for 40% off. Pro Tip: Shop your local fabric stores for some serious discounts in the costume fabric or remnant section. No sense in getting real satins and silks if polyester will work and cost a fraction. The point is to get the costume made, but go cheap with supplies because your little one is likely to dress up like a witch only a couple of times. This is a great time of year to get costume quality fabrics. Go to the shop and gather up all your supplies to make the perfect witch. To make this witch costume, get your Noelle pattern from Peek-a-Boo Pattern Shop, print it, and cut to your desired size. We added a hat to the dress to make the perfect Halloween witch costume. That’s two outta four, which is pretty good around here! So here it is – the great transition from the Noelle Party Dress to the Spooky DIY Witch Costume complete with fitted point sleeves and an overlay. Thankfully, Magnus is too little to tell me what he wants to be (flying monkey) and Stella had her mind set on a witch and it stuck. Certainly no one else’s child has changed their mind a gazillion times over the last week about their costume?!? Ready to make a DIY Witch Costume! I don’t know about your house, but mine is in full “stop changing your mind about your Halloween costume or I can’t make it” mode. ![]()
