Late Post: A DIY Jake and the Never Land Pirates

My Toddler is so into Jake and the Never Land Pirates from Disney Junior. He totally forgot about Thomas the Tank engine (which was his favorite for almost 2 years!). Every time he sees the Jake and the Never Land Pirate show is about to start or coming up next on Disney Junior channel he would freak out. Every. Single. Time. And so, I had to record all episodes that he liked so that I have it anytime he asks for it (which is almost ALL the time).

To indulge him on his birthday last September, I made him a Jake costume. We have tons of clothes for donation and I just used a couple of them and sew them together. I cut and pinned the pieces for about an hour, sew the entire shirt for almost 3 hours (I'm just a newbie on this so pardon the roughness the seams and cuts).

Since I didn't have enough time (I made the shirt 4 days before his big day), I was only able to sew the shirt and just use his own blue shorts. But ain't it grand? My boy was so excited when I finished it that he wore his Jake shirt for 3 consecutive days and on the day of his birthday (yeah I had to wash and dry it every night!). And he even wanted us to call him Jake every time he wore it. Adorable! 

Well as they say better late than never. So Happy birthday to our little ray of sunshine! Hugs and kisses from Mom and Dad! We love you!
