Ok, so about a month ago, I approached my grandmother and asked her to teach me how to sew. She asked what project I wanted to work on first, and I thought, "I should make a costume for the upcoming con." I had decided to do a themed group entry with myself as Ganon, my son as Wind Waker link and a friend as Tetra. Well, I couldn't pull of Ganon in time, but I'm proud with how (most of) my son's costume came out.
I based it off Wind Waker Link, thought what you're seeing is not final. I have white leggings and boots, but we live in Florida, and it was simply too hot to wear. Furthermore, I am planning to paint the sword a more appropriate color, but up until that morning, we weren't sure if we were going to make it to the con at all, so I didn't have time.
I have spent about 18 hours on the vest and hat and another 5 searching thrift stores for the materials. I know it's not super-accurate, but the little guy was a hit with the ladies and even made it into our local paper.
I hope to have it totally done at Halloween. Also, Protip: babies
hate hats.
Yeah... those are going to definitely be great photos for later in life to haul out when he's all grown up and brings his girlfriend home! :)
Also, hats yes.. but halo 3 cat helmets?
