Child’s Christmas Star Costume in Lutradur
If you need to make an outfit for a fancy dress party or play this festive season, our fabrics are an excellent choice as they are easy to cut, easy to colour and, best of all, they do not fray!
A couple of years ago, we made a costume for our very own Christmas Star, who was making his acting debut in the school nativity play.
We chose Lutradur 100gsm to make the tabard and matching hat, as it is beautifully lightweight, yet strong enough to hold and keep its shape.
Some thin elastic, sewn on to the hat and either side of the star, helped to hold the finished outfit in place.
Our first fitting . . . 
After checking the size, we cut an identical copy to make a double layer. 
The outer layer was coloured with bright yellow transfer paint before the two pieces were machine stitched together. 
A semi circle of coloured Lutradur was used to form the hat (the fifth point of the star). 
All points of the star were decorated with gold tinsel, sewn on by hand. 
The final production!
If you would like to know more about this, or any of our other projects, please do not hesitate to give us a call, we would love to hear from you!
