Solomon decided to be a fire demon for Halloween this year. He had very clear ideas on how he should look. The initial description involved lots of red and orange sequins, hair, hair spray and claws. It evolved to include fangs, possibly face paint, and a slippery iridescent fabric that resembles snakeskin. A floor length cape was a must.
While I had intended to make the cape for him, Ariadne, his baby sister, had other ideas. And so, Solomon made most of it himself! It was a slippery, difficult fabric for a beginner, but the pattern was forgiving. He fared very well on my mid-century Bernina. The results were just what he was after.

I love this! The costume turned out amazing and it's so neat that he got to help sew it himself. I hate sewing on slippery fabrics: great that he didn't let that frustrate him. Go Solomon!
