WIP Adventuretime Halloween Costumes!

So I am currently working on the hat from Adventure time...

I'm still working on trying to make a pattern before I sew and I am coming to realize that I should invest in muslin instead of paper! I have this weird I can't quite visualize how my paper translates into fabric issue right now... I should  probably buy a patterning book and pattern blocks to get with the program! :)

This is how the pattern turned out with my paper... Logically this pattern should work and I've seen a cosplay example with a pattern that appears to be simply this... however I don't think it's three dimensional enough...

I'm thinking about making another piece of fabric to add to the front as shown in this pic to make it more like this... It won't be so apparent that there is random extra fabric after I cut out the right shape!

Tomorrow: watch for the final product!

And also...I will start patterning the Princess costume!!!!!

Due Date: Sunday
Ship Date: Monday! :)
