The fabric paint has held up after many washings without fading.Īdding the fabric paint took me a few days. On a previous Spiderman outfit I made, I used black sharpie or fabric markers, but these faded pretty quickly. Use a fabric paint bottle to make the spider and web designs on the red portions of the outfit. Step 6: Add in the web and spider designs using black fabric paint. Step 5: Sew your project together following pattern directions. Trim around the outside of the red fabric on the underside of the bodice back. Zigzag around the edges to securely finish the spider edge. Next carefully cut away the blue layer of fabric on the inside of your stitching line. If you make an error, stretch stitches are pretty impossible to remove without damaging your project. I used a stretch stitch on my machine, but would not recommend doing this unless you are experienced with reverse appliqué. You can use a basting stitch or a narrow zigzag. Pin these two layers securely together.Ĭarefully sew on top of your drawing lines.

Next, place a piece of red cotton lycra (large enough to cover the spider image) under the blue back piece with the spider drawn on it. Cut out the shape and then trace around it, centered on the outside of back bodice piece. I also have a file of a half spider image HERE that you can use to enlarge or reduce for different sizes. If you want to use mine, CLICK HERE to download it for free. Once I had what I wanted, I made sure the spider was symmetrical. I used an image search for Spiderman to get an idea of how it should look. Step 4: Reverse Appliqué the spider symbol on the back.ĭraw out the spider shape free hand on a piece of paper. Sew your split pieces together to match the original pattern pieces. Also cut out a neckband, sleeve bands and leg bands in red according to pattern directions. Step 3: Cut out your pieces then assemble the sections to the original pattern pieces.Ĭut out your pattern pieces using your split patterns. CLICK HERE to see a more detailed explanation on how I added seam allowances when using the Alex and Anna Winter Pajama pattern to make a Super Mario Costume. Add seam allowances to both sides of the new edges. Next, take your pattern pieces and cut along the lines you drew in the previous step. Step 2: Add seam allowances to the new cutting lines. On all pattern piece sections, make a note of the color you want to use for each piece. I measured the point on the front bodice arm cycle and matched it to my sleeve so the blue-red split would match up on the sleeve and bodice pieces.ĭraw a horizontal line on the pants piece below the knee. Next, draw a vertical line from the sleeve curve to the pervious horizontal line. On the sleeve pattern piece, first draw a horizontal line below the elbow area (may vary depending on size). One the back bodice piece draw a line from the bottom of the arm cycle to the center back. Next draw a curved line on the bodice front from the front armhole down to the waistband line. First draw a waistband on the bottom of both bodice pieces (eg., front and back). Take your front and back bodice pieces and draw lines to form the different colored sections for the Spiderman outfit.
