Thanks Beverly,

For the helpful links and ideas. these patterns are very
similar
to a pirate pattern and a medieval Wizards and other
characters
pattern i have, I may try to cobble something together
from those
existing patterns.

for example the 5412 - Doublet is similar to a shortened
pirate
coat combined with sleeves from my wizards tunic with
some
slight mods of course.

Thanks again for the help,

You're welcome, "cobbled together" costumes are often the very best kind. ;-)

Cobbled together is a great discription, I think as long as he gets the overall feel of whathe wants to represent sticking to one pattern or design isn't nessecary. A cloak, trousers in somthing rich looking prahaps an offcut of velour or satin and hat with a feather any 4 year old would be thrilled.
IMHO
My niece loved her box of assorted dressing up clothes that I made for her and not one of them was based on a pattern,I just picked up a piece of fabric and said to myself tunic dress........ wings..... gathered skirt etc.
The free form of ideas was very liberating.

I have made all these based on THE SAME fleece jacket pattern, in different sizes!

The same pattern also provided a lion costume (jacket with hood with ears, trousers with tail, made from fur fabric [the hood and the tuft on the end of the tail were made from darker, longer fur]), a donkey (different ears and a main of bullion fringe inserted in the hood seam), a polar bear (white fur, no tail!), and Aragorn costume (tunic, 'waistcoat', and a cloak made from a half circle), all three kings, and a couple of angels!

The costumes now provide the backbone of the village school costume cupboard!
