In the original story, the author writes how each of the lost boys live in a tree, especially adapted to them. And if they couldn\u00b4t find a tree that fit, the boy had to change his shape to fit!&amp;amp;nbsp;Peter Pan is often portrayed in a green costume, which I like, especially since the set is green, and it makes it easy to hide him in the set. However, being the maximalist I am, I didn\u00b4t want the fabric to be just ordinary straight-forward green. I want it to look like he\u00b4s dressed himself in the floor of the forest. If that makes sense. A leaves-carpeted floor of the forrest.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-20823\" src=\"http:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1404-450x300.jpg\" alt=\"_MG_1404\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" =\"https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1404.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.spindelmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/MG_1404-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\"><\/p>\n<p>So that is what I am working on now. I\u00b4ve already cut the pieces of the pattern in an elastic cotton chenille. And I am appliqu\u00e9ing leaves and pieces of other green fabric onto the bottom chenille. I ordered a bag of \u201csilk\u201d leaves from China on eBay, and am sewing them down. Later I will add pieces from a fake ivy plant, but since they have plastic parts, I\u00b4ll save them for last. It is also important to remember that the original elasticity of the chenille will decrease with the applications, so I might need to add extra width to the pattern.<\/p>\n<p>                       <!--for paginate posts--><\/p>\n<div class=\"postspace\">\n\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<!--all options over and out--><\/p>\n<p>\t<!--include comments template--><\/p>\n<p><!-- You can start editing here. --><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. --><\/p>\n<p>        <!--do not delete--><\/p>\n<p><!--single.php end--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I would like Peter Pan\u00b4s costume to reflect his attachment to nature.
