Scoops Ahoy - Steve Harrington Toddler Costume

By ari - October 14, 2020

 Oh is there anything cuter than kids in sailor outfits? I'm such a sucker for a sailor collar on just about anything, and now i'm realising there's only one sailor-collared shirt in my wardrobe currently - this must be rectified.

I somehow got this pattern in my stash, and i'm not sure how, but i'm glad it's there! It's Simplicity 4142 (not my picture) and has a pattern for shorts, a sailor collared top and a little tank top included. Once I decided i was going to sew it up, i figured i should just go the whole hog and sew Nova an entire Steve Harrington costume! Stranger Things is one of my favourite tv shows and Steve in his little Scoops Ahoy outfit with his knees out was far too adorable to me.

The pattern is so fiddly, WOW. I used the rest of this navy wool for this top but I din't know if it's really that comfortable for him. I made myself one almost identical and i didn't exactly love it. I think it should be lined. I need to stop sewing with mystery fabrics or at least make appropriate garments from them! 

ANYWAY he doesn't seem bothered by it. The little red and white striped panel is like a little modesty panel that comes undone on one side with a snap. It makes the neckhole larger and easier to get on over toddler heads i guess. It's cute and clever but i think in the future I will assemble it my own way. I really do love the way that collar sits though, the way it rolls out at the front? *chef's kiss*

This is another one of these posts i'm making lately where it's an outfit i made last year (august 9, 2019 to be precise) but i figure the spooky month is as good a month as any to start catching up on my posts!

The shirt is the size 2, i'm pleased to see it goes up to a size 4 so i can shove my porky pig into a new shirt in the future for a little longer! In my notes I wrote "i hate v-necks" which i now take as a personal challenge to myself to master them. Maybe in 2021?

This is how he would smile at age 2. Adorable.

His shorts are the only shorts/pants I make him - to be honest! It's the Olli shorts from Misusu - another of my favourite TNTs! I will 100% be doing a post about my favourite patterns I use for the kids in the near future! You can get this shorts pattern for free if you join the Misusu Patterns fb group.
