Yesterday, I shared with you the Tinker Bell Costume.
Here’s the other half of that magic…!
I can’t even believe how big my little guy is getting…..and to see him as Peter Pan, just about dropped me to the floor. Oooooh, I just wanted to nibble those chubby cheeks and raspberry that round little belly…….and keep him nice and young. Yum.
(Do you think he’ll still be letting me munch on him in 5 years?)
.
Then cut a straight line up the back.
Then turn it back over to the front and cut out some sort of shape to the shirt, creating some sleeves…..but still leaving a good amount to the width, so that you’ll have some shirt to cinch up in the belt at the end.
Turn it inside out, sew up the sides along the new curves, and then turn it right side out again. Now, make diagonal cuts all along the bottom and sleeves.
That’s it. Nice and easy.
Now onto the belt. I used the tutorial here and made it out of felt about 1 3/4 inches wide. I just cut strips out of the those rectangle pieces of felt and sewed them together. I actually made the belt 2 layers thick…..and just sewed down the middle and sides to keep the 2 layers together.
Now time to make the knife for Peter’s belt. I cut out some shapes in felt to construct the knife. And each shape is 3 layers thick, except for the center one….it’s just 2 layers thick.
Then I stitched the blade layers in place and added some detail…..and did the same with the handle. Trim if necessary.
Sew the blade and the handle together.
Then lay the last section under and over where the blade and handle meet. Sew all the way around it, securing the knife together as one piece. Then I sewed a little loop onto the back of the handle, so that it could slide onto the belt.
Then I made some pants using the the tutorial here. However, I made the legs a lot more narrow, so that it would look more like leggings.
Okay, onto the hat. This may seem a bit confusing….because all I have are shapes to give you. But I cut out a triangular shape with the top of the triangle more towards the back………. and the bottom of the triangle a bit curved. Then I cut a bottom brim section like I did below. I cut two of the triangle section ant two of the brim section……they are stacked right on top of each other.
Then I sewed all along the larger triangles, leaving the bottom edges open. And I sewed along the left edges of the 2 brim pieces. (Click to enlarge.)
Then I turned the hat right side out while leaving the brim inside out and lined up the back seams. Place the brim edge underneath the hat edge and overlap about a 1/2 inch. pin all the way around the hat on both sides.
Then I tacked the back of the brim into place on the back. Just to keep it from unfolding.
Then I attached some elastic to keep the hat in place while on Peter Pan’s head!
Now your whole ensemble is ready.
Now he’s ready to battle Hook.
Go get ’em buddy.

I am a group leader for the YMCA and going to be holding a “acting club”. I will be teaching my children “I won’t grow up”, so these patterns will really come in handy. Thank you!
Where did you get the metal links for the belt? My twinners are going as Tink and Peter Pan!
My only son needs a Peter Pan Costume, thanks for the tutorials.
Just finished peter pan costume for my 4yr old grandson, Ryley. Did a few adjustments, like sandwiching ridgid plastic from an old lid, in between sword material so it was sturdy. Also, sewed a white’buckle’ on belt. The belt fastened with Velcro. Hope he likes it….looks amazing
I need a pattern now for shoe covers, please.

Thank you so much for sharing! I am glad that I was very reluctant to purchase the ready made outfit from the store which was overpriced and not of the best material. LOVE LOVE your version!

aww! this costume is soo cute!! but it’d be better if the instructions were placed into a pdf file, so I can print it out, carry it and make it wherever I am even if I’m not online.
Made the costume and had a perfect Peter Pan for Halloween. My older son was Captain Hook… it was too cute! Thanks for sharing the tutorial :)

Thank you for this! I had already bought the Peter Pan shirt, but we still needed the hat and dagger. You helped me make them for my little guy! He’s so happy…and I’m proud! :)
Thank you, thank you for this Peter Pan costume tutorial! This turned out perfectly for my 4 year old. He loves it! The only thing I changed was instead of cutting up the back and adding velcro, I cut the hole for his head large enough for him to fit through. It turned out beautifully, so thank you again!
I just wanted to let you know that I linked to this tutorial on my blog because I’m going to use it for my little guy’s Halloween costume this year! Thanks for being awesome!
I used your “tutorial” for the Peter Pan hat to make my little guy a hat to wear with his lederhosen for Oktoberfest. I added a picture to the Halloween flicker group, but here is a link to my blog post about it. https://kissescomeintwos.blogspot.com/2012/10/oktoberfest.html
Just made this in a half hour for my 3 month old- SO sweet! Thanks for the super easy directions and clever idea. You sure made me look like super mom today ; )
