Link Costume: Legend of Zelda

I was working on sewing a craft for girls camp when my son came in and noticed I was at my sewing machine again…it had been weeks and weeks since I’d sewn.
He’s been asking me to make him a Link hat for a while, and asked again when he saw I was sewing.

So I took a minute to make him the hat.
He and my husband play the Zelda video games, and RJ pretends he’s Link, the main character all the time.

So he found some green fabric that he thought would work and we hacked out the hat.

But then he felt he really needed the “shirt with the slice in the front” and so we hacked that out.
I didn’t even hem the wrists, I was in a hurry and he didn’t seem to care.

So now with his cardboard shield we made earlier in the summer and a plastic sword our neighbor gave him from the dumpster, he’s ready to be Link.
Mainly he likes to jump off things,and asks me if I saw his hat go up. 

I guess his favorite part of the get up is the long hat tail and jumping so it flies up off his back like Link. 

He was pretty excited and wore it constantly until he took a bath and I threw it in the wash. 

It’s kind of annoying to get interrupted with a kid request project, but it’s worth it to me to see how much he gets excited watching it come to life and enjoying it, unlike other things I’ve sewn for him that he just won’t wear.
