Last week lil man picked up aa pair of monster feet in a charity shop. He said he wanted to wear them for school halloween day at end of term. When I asked with what he said a monster outfit! YEA OK, you dont have one!!!
So after a hunt of the net I found a "dog onesie" in grey and brown that matched the grey and brown in the monster feet, and hoped I won it. Well I did. Once I knew I had won it I asked lil man how he wanted to make it more "monstery" and he said he wanted dinosaur spikes from top of his head down his back.
I had this pin in a board from ages ago as I liked the jumper with it on. BUT I didn't think that making each spike individually was the best idea so I started thinking. I took a pair of dark blue trackie bottoms out of charity shop bag
I turned them inside out as it was more fluffy, then I decided that the fluffy side needed to be the finished outside bit as the "dog onesie" is fluffy, so I turned them back the right way. Using 1 of the leg seams as the base for the spikes I started to cut through both layers of trousers to get spike shapes, which I then pinned together.
I have since stitched the points, I tried with my machine but as its only small it wouldn't go through the thick tracksuit bottoms so I have had to do it by hand. I am in the process of starting the second set of spikes and I think I may need do more from the other leg.
