So far, my final project is going as planned and is going
well. I do wish I would be closer to finishing but I still have much to do.
My original plan was to create the shirt in size XL, because
my husband did not want it to be too tight. However, when I pulled out my
pattern to see where to begin, I noticed I bought the pattern for sizes S, M,
and L. Oops! After much contemplation and even changing my pattern for a
moment, I Another adjustment I made to the original plan,
is instead of following the pattern which would create a long sleeve, I am
shortening the sleeves. I choose to do this because I wanted to create a more
casual look.
Although the project is far from completion, I have finished
many steps. My husband helped me to cut out all the fabric, I added pockets to
the front and yokes on the shirt, and I have attached one sleeve. I am very
glad I choose to do a short sleeve instead of long sleeve because I do not have
to worry about doing cuffs, something I have never done before.
In order for my project to be fully complete, I still need
to attach the second sleeve, stitch together the side seams, and add a flap to
each pocket and try and the collar. The collar is something I have no idea how
to do and is something which will probably take me a while to figure out.

Besides the shirt I am making from scratch, I have found
green shorts to match. I still need to find some sort of green hat, either a
baseball cap or a beanie and also brown shoes. To incorporate the red feather
as seen in the Disney production of Peter Pan, I want to either add it to the
hat somehow, or make it into a necklace for him to wear.
I am starting to fear that my project is beginning to look
too casual, although that is what I originally wanted. I don’t want people to
feel that I just took pieces of clothing my husband already owns and have him
model it down the run way. I want to be sure to use original pieces for the
costume, things my husband has never seen or worn before.
