My son went to Cub Camp last weekend and this year they had a medieval theme. So he wanted a Jester Costume for the camp. So without a run to the fabric store, I was able to come up with some fabric. Years ago I had bought some hallowe'en print fabric that I'd made into play"silks". OK they were poly but the kids had great fun with them. One of them was Red, Grey, and White diamonds set on point which made this great simple jester costume. The sleeves and bottom were already hemmed, so I added sleeves and a neckband, by sewing an underarm seam. Then the pieces I cut off were turned into a hat. I read the Jester Hat Tutorial to make the hat. For the hat, I was limited in length by the small pieces I had left over but it made a good size for my son, and used FOE around the bottom edge.
