Next up in my 3 part Halloween set is Cleopatra, made from McCall's 7122. (McCalls was having a sale when I was looking for patterns). This is a woman's pattern which I made for my almost 11 year old (who will likely be taller than me in the next year to 18 months.) I made an XS, and made 3/4 length sleeves.
Cleopatra's outfit is all about embellishment. I used a sparkly turquoise & gold woven that I purchased in India to make the neck...dickey? gaiter? collar. I fused some stiff interfacing to the wrong side, cut my circle based on my daughter's shoulder width, and neck circumference. I did a rolled hem on my serger to finish the edges. There are 2 snaps on the back to hold it into place.
Queens are all about gold too, so I used some gold lame one-way stretch knit for the belt, and arm bands. They were all so simple, I'm not going to waste time explaining what I did to make them. Cut, stitch, adjust size, and sew on velcro. Pretty easy to figure out.

The dress is a simple raglan sleeve dress with a neck band. It is a "Learn to Sew for Fun" pattern geared for the beginner. It was simple and quick to sew up and could easily be made into a raglan tee shirt. I used a white cotton jersey fabric.
