Homemade Fireman suit...






When the letter comes home from school describing a dress up day, I groan. My boy however somehow has complete faith I can come up with something. The theme was occupations...whatever the children wanted to be when they grow up. Originally he chose a ninja...talked him out of that, then he chose fireman and I'm thinking how am I going to pull that together, not wanting to buy a whole outfit. Googling I found some great ideas like grabbing a black tracksuit, cutting up the top and making some fasteners with velcro, some yellow duck tape to make the stripes and copying and laminating a firefighting emblem. It was great fun and he looked fantastic.
