Mrs. Patchwork: My little Charlie guy...

Well this year, my son (20 mnts old) was old enough for me to make him a full costume for Purim.
After noticing some particular resemblances we've decided he should be Charlie Chaplin.
Chaplin is after all one of my favorite figures...

So I started by looking for some references - saw the highlights of the scenes

First I made the jacket... then the over sized crotch pants... a bought shirt (which also was made by me for the commercial baby clothing brand i used to work for ) a papillon (i know Chaplin uses a regular miss located tie but Nadavi wouldn't go for that so i used a bow) and couldn't stop there. Had to do something about his sneakers (so he would be comfortable and still era like) so i made oxford shoes cover for his Nike :)

here are the photos from the process... or as i call it THE MAKING OF CHARLIE

And then the morning came... he woke up happy and excited (i know he didn't know what to expect after all it was he's first Purim going to the kindergarten but still he was happier then any other day). So after a quick shower we started the dressing up party :)
