With the help of son and cat...

Since the Assassin's Creed costume was my son's idea I figured he needed to help at least cut it out. They always come up with these fantastically involed costumes like I can just pull them out of a bag or something, so I thought he needs to see just how much work this truly is. You can tell he is impressed.We also had the help of our newest cat, Ezio, whether we wanted it or not. He took the fabric, stole the trim, and tore the pattern whenever he could manage it. The last picture where he is stretched out on the floor he is actually asleep! He was playing with the footpedal and just conked out lol.

 

 

It's tiring being so bad!!!

 

 

Fabric choices for Assassins Creed III costume.

The first place we deviated from the original was in the color. My son Stephen wanted something that seemed more natural, that would blend into the environment like a real assassin would, not a bright uniform. I had this moss colored wool-look fabric I had bought from Walmart laying in a box. It is not as brown looking as this pic, will try to get a better one

This is lining material for the coat that we found at Goodwill. It is a herringbone in a brownish-gray. I would have prefered more of a brown color but we were on a tight budget and this fit the bill.

This was another Goodwill find, and is the fabric for his waistcoat. It has a "popcorn" feel too it, with raised circles. It is a light cream colored tapestry.

Assassins Creed III Costume

My son wanted a costume based on the one from his new game for Halloween. We were working on it when way-layed by a serious, and unexpected problem, but we did get enough of it done that he could wear it to the school dance.
