I only made one Hallowe'en costume this year. The girls weren't planning to trick or treat, and we were moving to another state so I just made a costume for the boy. He wanted to be Giyu Tomioka from Demon Slayer. He read all the books earlier this year. He gave me a picture he found online, and I did my best to copy it, granting that we bought the closest fabric JoAnn's had to the print that the character wears.

This actually worked out really well to make the shirt and pants with a pajama pattern and then add a false white collar and cuffs. I know the original is probably supposed to be a white garment with a black garment over it, but I knew there was no way I'd get my son to put on two long-sleeved shirts plus another garment on top. Then I draped the gown (no idea what it's actually called) based on cutting layouts I saw online for kimono. The leg wrap things (again, no idea what they're called) I assume are meant to be strips wrapped and tied, but I made them as structured pieces out of felt that snap closed. I think the outfit was reasonably successful.

The pictures were taken after he got home so he was a bit truculent about being photographed.
