Formal?

Pi Beta Phi had a "Formal" on Friday night.  Katie took her best friend Tommy Caulfield.  The theme was "Match Made in Heaven".  They went as Woody and Jesse from Toy Story.  Other couples were: a flower and a bee, a bottle of corona and lime, Harry Potter and Hermione, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, etc (you get the picture). 
I take a particular interest in this outfit because I made the vest for Tommy and the chaps for Katie.  I thought it would be no problem, just go to the fabric store, pick a cowboy costume pattern and viola!  But no, things can't go that easy.  No patterns at all.  I was talking to my neighbor across the street and she said she had a vest pattern for a pirate.  I might be able to shorten it.  I did.  I also had to cut the shoulders in more because left as it was, he looked more like Fred Flintstone.   So, now how do I make chaps?  Looking at the pattern of the pirate vest front it looked like a perfect chap.  I just made a waistband and sewed the vest front to it on each side (in reverse) and VIOLA! I had chaps.  I was so excited!!! They turned out perfect.  Katie loved them!

Quite the pozer!
