Max! and Moishe One of Each Left.

 Wild Thing Collection SOLD

We are done for the season. 

Will have PJ's for Christmas with feet, hands, hood and tail.

This is our Max from Where the Wild Things Are.  We made Moishe as well.  Max is made from white fleece.  His tail has fourteen gauge wire in it to give it a nice turn.  It is tied to the waist with a sash rather than sewn to the costume.  Max and Mioishes' hands have nice openings so the fingers can be free for easy movement.  This is a totally comfy and warm costume.  The hood is separate and the ears have a nice fourteen gauge wire to make them stand up straight.

 Be sure to see Moishe.

• I took an old pair of blue jeans to cut as the pattern and just cut it up to the shoulder.  The body is just two pieces of fabric.
• There is a fold on the side and no side seam.
• A placket was made for the opening and then a flap was attached.
• I made a mandarin collar for the neck.
• Rather than have wide arms that flap around we narrowed the arms at the cuff area but left them really long.
• The folded up cuff (folded four time) gives the appearance of being oversized, without really being oversized.  

I sewed up the shoulders then sewed the center seam just as you would a pair of pants.   Really this is just an extra long waisted single seam pant (that goes up to your shoulders!). 

I cut an opening for the arm and measured a piece of fabric that wide.  The lenght was to the tip of the finger plus six inches.  I attached the arm to the costume and sewed down the underside of the arm. 

I began to seriously narrow the arm at the elbow to a tight fitting sleeve at the wrists.  We decided not to have the big floppy sleeve but to create the image of over sized PJ's with the extra length of the sleeve that was then rolled up four times.

I made a long placket to be placed on the front seem and attached it.  We glued the covered buttons to that.

The PJ's are closed with velcro squares placed on the underside of the placket.

Max's Tail

• When cutting the tail I left a good bit of bulk for the inside seam so there is no stuffing.
• The tail is attached to elastic and sticks through the PJ's.
• Attaching a tail direcly to the PJ's weighs the costume down.
• The extra tail fur will trim the crown. 

• The PJ's close with velcro. 
• Buttons are not real buttons but are hot glued fabric on cardboard.
• The buttons are hot glued on suit.
• The buttons are made from an oval piece of card board. 
• Fluffy fabric from the Moishe custom was hot glued on.
• Then the buttons were covered with fleece, hot glued to the back of the cardboard.
• Buttons this large -- if they worked as real buttons would be too heavy and drop.
• These are decorative buttons and look really cool out of the same fabric as the PJs.

• This is a standard hood. 
• It has two sides sewn together
• So you cut four pieces of the hood as shown below -- adjusting for the size of your Max.
• Two and two are sewn together to make two hoods.
• Then the two hoods are sewn together to make one hood with a lining.
• A band is at the bottom.

Hood Ears

• I used 14 gauge wire and slipped it through the top of the hood to hold the ears
• The ears are stuffed with extra fleece cut in small piece.
• Ears are slipped over the wire
• Ears are sewn to hood
