Halloween Knight

Growing up I always had elaborate Halloween costumes, usually made by my grandmother. I was snow white, minnie mouse, a fairy and a clown complete with a squirting flower. My kids like Halloween, mostly for the candy but they do enjoy dressing up too. Unfortunately my sewing skills are mostly self taught and no where near my grandmothers. Molly and I were at goodwill and found a very nice Cinderella costume for $6.50! All I need for her is a crown and some shoes. Patrick decided he wants to be a knight. I'm thinking, how hard could it be to DIY a knight costume? I took him to look at some patterns and we didn't find anything. I found out that knights wear grey or silver - not the red or blue I had in mind! So last weekend I had a 50% off coupon and a few minutes by myself at the fabric store. And I found this....
doesn't it look like chain armor?

YAY! I'm so excited to see how this turns out!
