Evil Chef

From: my idea, so Joe would match Blair
Date: Halloween 2008
Pattern(s) used: Simplicity 4987

Fabric Swatch(s): N/A

Dan's cousin and his girlfriend flew up from DC to attend out party this year and they needed costumes. A friend of hers suggested being a "Devil-ed Egg", meaning dress as an egg with devil horns and a tail. I offered to make the costume for her. Joe also needed a costume, and wanted to match Blair, so I came up with the idea of an Evil Chef - and he loved it!

I made the apron and hat from an old sheet that actually had brown stains and stuff on it. Then I had fun splattering his apron and hat with lots of "blood" - acrylic paint again.

I couldn't find a suitably ghoulish cleaver, so I had to make one from a dollar store plastic cleaver (similar to what I did for Alice's knife). I "rusted" it with more acrylic paint, then splattered it with "blood".

The devil accouterments were purchased from a Halloween store.

Favorite part: The cleaver - it looked much more "realistic" than the cheap, silver plastic it had originally been - and Joey LOVED the costume.

Least favorite part: The first run of blood was too watery and turned pink. :\
