All for one and one for all! For Halloween 2011, I had three nephews and my family wanted to do the Musketeers; nephews and their dads. Now, my family and I live where it can get really cold in October if it wanted to. When I first was talking to my sisters about making tunics for their boys, their main concern was how to keep the boys warm. I came up with a solution to sew pieces into the sides and make it more of a big shirt; that way, the boys could wear sweaters and not get cold. They loved the idea, but I then had to figure out a way to make it work.
I made the tunics first and sent them to a friend to get them embroidered. When they got back, I found a shirt and sleeve pattern and altered them to just be strips with sleeves and then I sewed them to the tunics. Voila!
And the boys were so cute as the Musketeers and their dads were looking awesome as "evil" Musketeers.
