I have to admit, with as excited as I have been for this challenge, I did absolutely no prep work ahead of time. I woke up this morning with not one idea. So, I mulled around this morning trying for inspiration in the fabrics that I had on hand. I finally came up with this easy shirt, inspired from here. I did get a little heartburn cutting into the fabrics, but Moo loves it and that's what counts.
Then I turned Dora's Pirate Adventure on and got started on pirate costumes! I got two of these vests done, and although they don't look like much now, they will work with the costume as a whole. They are fully lined and reversible. One of the great things about having my girls so close in age (and size!) is that I only need to draft one pattern and it fits both of them! 
More 'pirate gear' coming this week!
What a great shirt! I love it! And don't be afraid of shiny fabrics! Just use the right needle :-) the best part was, it was an awesome satin on one side, flannel on the other! GORGEOUS! I wish I had more than scraps of it!
